Former WWE champion to help Odyssey Jones enter The New Day? Exploring new member amid Xavier Woods' dissent

Odyssey Jones has finally made his WWE RAW debut, just in time to add some backup to The New Day against The Final Testament. Despite this, Xavier Woods isn't the biggest fan of the inclusion, but somebody close to them could convince him to change his mind.

The New Day and The Final Testament have been feuding for months on WWE RAW, and the latter group mainly gets the upper hand. However, Odyssey Jones changed the dynamic when he aligned himself with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. This week, The New Day and Jones defeated Karrion Kross' group to seemingly end their feud, but the former King of the Ring may be stirring a new rivalry as he is not the most keen about their new ally becoming an official member. However, Big E could convince Xavier to change his mind

As many may remember, New Day's third member Big E has been sidelined with a neck injury since 2022. Unfortunately, it looks like an in-ring return is a hard possibility for the former WWE Champion. Still, he continues to support his group in many ways, and he could ensure the group won't break up due to Odyssey.

E fully supported Odyssey when he was introduced as The New Day's partner. Due to this, it would be no shock if he supports Kofi in adding Jones to the group. The former WWE Champion could reason to Woods that they have his full blessing and that he won't be replaced, but would just welcome another member.

Adding Jones could also lead to some long-term storytelling for the group. After Xavier warms up to the idea, he could turn his back on the group to end their decade-long run. In this way, he would also get a lot of heat as a heel.

Which WWE star recommended The New Day to look for another member?

Another reason why Big E could be important to Odyssey being added to the group was that it was the former WWE Champion who suggested that the group should look for another member. However, Xavier and Kofi had other plans.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated in April this year, Big E said he told his groupmates that he would understand if they started looking for another partner. Woods and Kingston immediately turned down this idea, and the absent star shared how grateful and proud he was of New Day.

It would be interesting to see what will happen next with Odyssey Jones and The New Day on WWE RAW.
