What Kofi Kingston said
¡°I¡¯m seeing that many people were very upset that we didn¡¯t get to come out & address the crowd last night on #WWERaw as advertised. Blame ¡®locker room leader¡¯ @reymysterio. Since he denied us a place to change into our work clothes, we could not work. So we went home. Thanks Rey,¡± Kingston wrote.

What happened on Raw
On the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, The New Day was seen walking backstage when Kingston and Woods were stopped by Mysterio, who told them that the locker room had a problem with them.
The ring veteran of more than three decades told Kingston and Woods that their turning on Big E was unacceptable.
"I don't know what to tell you. You crossed a line with E. I think it's best for your own good if you find somewhere else to change," Mysterio said.
Rey Mysterio just told Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods that they've been officially KICKED OUT of the WWE locker room.

THEY DESERVE IT ?#WWERaw

New Day feels the heat
Kingston and Woods had been facing heat from fans, wrestlers, and WWE staff alike after they dumped Big E, who had been with them for ten years as part of The New Day. Big E, who suffered a career-threatening injury in March 2022, has not wrestled ever since and had made a special appearance on Raw to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The New Day. However, to the utter shock of Big E and WWE fans, Kingston and Woods accused him of not being with the team and putting himself first, before telling him that he was no longer welcome.
