Why Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, JC Mateo and Tonga Loa are leaving WWE
- Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have departed WWE by "mutual consent," concluding their tenure as The New Day after 20 and 16 years with the company, respectively.
- Formed in 2014, The New Day became wrestling's most decorated tag team, winning 13 championship titles during their 12-year partnership across WWE Raw and SmackDown.
- Their career includes the longest Raw tag team title reign at 483 days and seven SmackDown championships, while Kingston, a former WWE Champion, established himself as a premier performer.

- It remains unclear if Kingston and Woods will join rival promotion All Elite Wrestling , though many former WWE superstars including Jon Moxley and Samoa Joe have previously transitioned there.
