Summary

Several wrestlers across the industry responded on social media after news broke that Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were mutually parting ways with WWE.

Kingston and Woods leave behind one of the most successful tag team runs in company history. New Day spent 12 years as a group and won the Tag Team Titles and World Tag Team Titles nine times during that run.

The reactions followed a day of heavy fallout around the group's departure, including separate coverage of The Usos sharing their own message after New Day left WWE.

Social media reaction to New Day leaving WWE

Damian Priest was among the first notable names to comment, writing that the locker room was hurting and sending love to both Woods and Kingston.

Tommaso Ciampa also reacted on Instagram, while Zachary Wentz referenced a possible Rascalz matchup involving the departing duo. Oro Mensah praised Kingston's run, Veda Scott pointed to both men's groundbreaking careers, and Shawn Dean also weighed in with a brief reaction post.

Swerve Strickland was also noted among the names reacting as word of the split continued to spread.

What New Day's exit means for WWE

New Day leaving WWE immediately turns Kingston and Woods into two of the biggest names attached to the current wave of roster movement. Because their exit landed with this much public reaction from wrestlers in multiple promotions, it already feels larger than a routine departure.

It also adds another layer to WWE's tag team landscape. New Day had been part of the company's fabric for more than a decade, so their absence leaves a real gap in both star power and history.
