"Disgusting behavior" - Xavier Woods accuses WWE of favoritism

Xavier Woods has accused WWE of favoritism. The New Day member has been venting his frustration with WWE officials on RAW during his current feud with Penta.

This week on RAW, Penta beat Kofi Kingston after hitting a springboard Mexican Destroyer. However, later in the night, Penta was attacked by the New Day backstage as WWE officials rushed to the spot.

Now, in a post on X (Twitter), Xavier Woods has addressed Penta while taking shots at WWE officials.

"This past Monday PENTA cheated yet again using an illegal piledriver against @truekofi. The ref counted 3 for some reason instead of calling for an immediate disqualification," he wrote.

The decorated tag team star then addressed the backstage attack on Penta. He said WWE officials came quickly to the luchador's aid, unlike in the case of New Day,

"Considering the entire @wwe is clearly against us, we decided to take matters into our own hands. We caught Penta tweeting about himself from his burner account and dropped him in the hallway. Surprising how quick help shows up for their little golden boy but their cheeks are firmly planted in a heated seat when we are being assaulted. Disgusting behavior from WWE suits," he added.

Xavier Woods recently had surgery

Xavier Woods was pulled from the WWE x AAA Worlds Collide card last week. He was set to team up with Kofi Kingston to take on Psycho Clown & Pagano for the AAA World Tag Team Championship.

However, before the show, Woods revealed that he had surgery to remove a lipoma, a benign, non-cancerous tumor, from his head.

Woods shared some graphic photos post-surgery and kept the storyline with Penta moving, saying that this was a result of his Mexican Destroyer.

The New Day members have repeatedly called for the move to be banned, with Woods claiming it injured his neck.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
