6 Storylines that saved WWE Superstars' careers

#5. Xavier Woods - The New Day saved him from WWE mediocrity

Right when it all began

The New Day is arguably the greatest tag team in WWE history at this point. There has been no group in the company's history that had a run as long as The New Day did. Officially speaking, November 2014 to October 2020 was The New Day's tenure in WWE.

Even with their split, there wasn't a break-up or character change - it was simply WWE's decision to take Big E to the next level as a singles star. If you were to ask all three members, they would likely say that The New Day never broke up in the first place.

Either way, Xavier Woods was a man who was at risk of being on the "chopping board" of WWE when they released superstars that weren't being utilized. Woods needed something different, and The New Day was that answer.

While Big E and Kofi Kingston benefited in their own right (with the latter reaching the pinnacle and becoming WWE Champion in 2019), it was probably Xavier Woods who benefited the most, with his career getting saved thanks to The New Day.

Nobody expected them to have the run that they did, but all three men are now established stars, with Woods finding success outside the ring as well and establishing his own brand.
