Summary

A new backstage update suggests AEW remains interested in the possibility of Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods eventually wrestling for the promotion.

According to the report, one AEW source was described as upbeat about the duo working at least one match for the company. The update did not go further than that, and there was no indication that anything has been finalized.

The report also noted that Kingston and Woods would need to use a different tag team name if they do end up appearing together in AEW.

Where The AEW Interest Stands

This is the second recent sign that there is internal support for bringing Kingston and Woods into the company in some form. The same report noted that there had already been a push from multiple people within AEW for the team to be signed.

That makes this latest update notable because it moves the conversation from broad interest to at least one source believing a match could realistically happen.

What Kofi Kingston And Xavier Woods Could Mean For AEW

If Kingston and Woods do wrestle for AEW, even for a single match, it would turn the backstage interest around them into an on-screen move with immediate attention around the tag division. It would also mean presenting the pair under a new identity, since the report specifically says they would need a different team name.
