Xavier Woods
If there’s one thing Woods has proven as a member of the New Day, it’s that he can cut great promos. Many of his catchphrases and one-off lines have been some of the New Day’s funniest, and has done wonders as the hype man for their matches and occasional manager.

On the other hand, Woods has spent the better part of the past year or more as a mouthpiece as opposed to a wrestler. He’s an entertaining speaker, but has yet to put on a stand-out wrestling match. All the top guys on the WWE roster have had at least one excellent match that most fans still talk about, but Woods has not.
That’s not to say Woods doesn’t still have time. He’s only 30 and has over ten years’ worth of experience in wrestling. Furthermore, if that ‘Behind the Curtain’ special is to be believed, there’s a long-term plan to emphasize Woods in the future because of his intelligence and heavy focus on education. If true, then there could be good things in Woods’ long-term future.
The only thing he really needs to work on now is put on a few good-to-great singles matches to prove that he’s as good of a wrestler as he is a talker. Which is why, when they disband, Xavier’s likely to be the one to initiate it. He’ll have something to prove to the other two, and so he’ll seek to break out on his own. Whether he succeeds in that venture or not remains to be seen.
