In December 2022, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of The New Day began appearing on WWE NXT and challenged for the NXT Tag Team Championships. At NXT Deadline on December 10, they defeated Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince and Kit Wilson) to win the titles and became the third WWE Tag Team Triple Crown Champions.
Speaking to ReviewSTL, Woods shared his perspective about working with Pretty Deadly in NXT.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On New Day’s opponents for their Triple Crown Tag Team Title match win at NXT: “I’ve been wanting to work with Pretty Deadly for a very long time. I think they’re very talented. I think they know who they are, which is one of the hardest things to figure out in professional wrestling and so getting to work with them was great.”
On the opportunities offered by having a consistent home crowd for your shows: “It’s cool to go there, to that setting, and see what we like to do and what works and what doesn’t, so getting to mix and match our stuff with some of their stuff to make a new gumbo was really cool.”
