A massive WWE star just fell on Xavier Woods’ face. The New Day member could’ve potentially injured himself.
Following their return from injuries, Erik and Ivar won a tournament to crown the number one contenders for the World Tag Team Title. They eventually won the title from The Judgment Day on the December 16, 2024, episode of WWE RAW. Since then, War Raiders have proven themselves to be dominant champions. They haven’t walked away from a challenge and have defended their title against anyone and everyone. They even recently defended their title against New Day. However, the match ended in a DQ.
As a result, The New Day got another chance at the World Tag Team Championship against War Raiders tonight on Night One of WrestleMania 41. During the match, the War Raiders took control early on. Erik held Xavier Woods in a suplex position as Ivar hit a splash. However, the 330-pound WWE star landed on Woods’ face. Woods held his face and was writhing in pain, hinting at a possible injury.
The New Day ultimately defeated The War Raiders to win the tag team title. However, it seems that Xavier may have suffered some bruises to his face because of the fall.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
