Summary

Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are continuing to line up appearances outside WWE after their reported May 2 departure, and a new backstage update suggests they would have no shortage of support if AEW becomes their next stop.

The duo is already scheduled for GalaxyCon later this month, where they will be billed as Kofi and Austin Creed. The report also said more convention appearances are already on the books but have not been announced yet, with both men expected to be major draws on that circuit.

AEW interest in Kingston and Woods

According to the report, more than a dozen people within AEW were unanimous in wanting Kingston and Woods brought into the company. That kind of across-the-board agreement was described as unusual, since incoming talent normally brings at least some split opinion behind the scenes.

The same report added that several prominent names in AEW have been pushing hard for the pair to sign. Both wrestlers were described as widely respected across the industry, and there is a belief within the business that AEW is a likely landing spot.

What this could mean for AEW and The New Day

If AEW does end up landing Kingston and Woods, the reported level of internal support would give the company a strong foundation for introducing them quickly in a meaningful role. At the same time, their growing list of convention bookings suggests there is still no confirmed deal in place yet, which keeps this firmly in the speculation stage for now.
