It appears that an 11-time WWE champion has suffered an injury in his match with Gunther, leaving his future completely uncertain for the short term. In the meantime, the Imperium leader is taking steps forward in the tournament.

Xavier Woods, the last King of the Ring, was not going to stand by silently when the Ring General announced his intention to win the tournament. He interrupted him, and the two eventually had a match. Gunther was able to defeat Woods, but he didn't just leave it at that. Kofi Kingston has stated that he utterly decimated him, going after his limbs and injuring him in the process.

Once the match was done, Woods was left quite hurt. On WWE RAW this week. Kingston revealed how bad it was, as Xavier Woods was out of action indefinitely. He added that his future was not certain, and there was no telling when he could enter the ring again.

Kingston has his own challenge in the tournament: facing Rey Mysterio. His plan seems to be to progress in the tournament until he can face the Ring General and avenge his teammate and real-life friend.
