Xavier Woods At A Crossroads After Challenging Gunther For Intercontinental Championship

During the latest episode of WWE SmackDown on April 21, Xavier Woods made a surprising move by challenging Gunther for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

This was a rare moment for Woods, who had mostly been involved in tag team competitions as a member of the New Day, and had limited opportunities for solo matches. Despite his valiant efforts, Woods was unable to defeat the formidable Gunther and lost the match.



In a WWE Digital Exclusive interview following the bout, Woods expressed his uncertainty about his future in the WWE. He seemed to be at a loss about what to do next and what his next move should be.

“This was my shot. I hadn’t had a shot at the Intercontinental Championship since I’d been here. I got here in 2010. It’s 2023. I had one shot at Gunther, I had one shot to become champion, and I failed, and I didn’t do it. I have no Kofi here, I have no [Big] E here.

We’re all about the power of positivity, but it’s not always easy. I don’t know what to do next, besides move forward. What is moving forward? I have no idea. But shots like this for me, specifically guys like me, come once in a career apparently. So I don’t know if I’ll ever get a shot at that again. So yes, Gunther won. Yes, Gunther is the Intercontinental Champion. I am not. So we go to work," Woods said.
