The New Day (Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston) debuted a new entrance theme on the February 3rd episode of WWE Raw ahead of their tag team match against Dragon Lee & Rey Mysterio. With their new music, the match ended with the heels securing the victory after a distraction from Logan Paul.
The group’s heel turn has taken them in a drastically different direction. On the December 2, 2024, episode of Raw, Kingston and Woods shockingly turned on their longtime friend and tag team partner, Big E, during The New Day’s 10th-anniversary celebration.
The betrayal made for an emotional and unexpected moment, generating significant heat from the WWE Universe.This change comes after The New Day abandoned Big E.
Since then, Woods and Kingston had been making their entrances without music, accompanied only by a chorus of boos. Their previous theme, “New Day, New Way” by Jim Johnston, featured an intro by Big E, making their recent shift even more symbolic. The group’s heel turn has taken them in a drastically different direction.
Since the turn, The New Day has embraced a more serious demeanor, shedding their signature colorful attire in favor of a darker, more somber look. Other WWE stars, including Rey Mysterio and CM Punk, have publicly voiced their disapproval of their actions.
