Xavier Woods took to X, Instagram, and other social media handles and confirmed his completion of 20 years in the company. The New Day Star has been in the company since the Ruthless Aggression Era. But only a few could remember him to be that old. In fact, it is very surprising, as he was not that popular in the company till the PG Era.
The fact that he was like a second fiddle till joining the New Day shows why he isn't that popular among the fans. The New Day definitely helped him a big deal. He recalled some of the biggest moments in his WWE career by posting a video about the same. Xavier was happy about making friends like Kofi Kingston and Big E in the New Day.

'Bro you debuted before I got there' - R Truth
Many top wrestlers were surprised with the news and expressed the same in the comments section. Bayley wrote that she and everyone else love him a lot and believe in him. "Love you so much Woodsie! I believe in you," wrote Bayley in the comments section. R Truth could not believe that Woods was so old in the company and got there before him.
"Bro you debuted before I got there what are you talking about?" wrote the world tag team champion on X. Woods was the King of the Ring in 2021 and got a good run at the top in the 2010s. Many felt he had the potential to be a world champion. However, it was only his teammates Big E and Kofi who managed to win the prized title in the company so far.
Here's how the fans reacted to the news -
Bro you debuted before I got there what are you talking about? 🤷🏾♂️

Can't wait to see what you accomplish next. Not directly wrestling related but seeing you host AOTS was awesome. So much of what you do comes across as you genuinely enjoying yourself, and it makes it so much more fun to watch. 20 more years!

You've evolved so much since I first saw you on WWE, not only as a wrestler, but as an entertainer in the video game space that can always bring a smile to my face even on the worst days... 😁 pic.twitter.com/rSE5mW2EwR
