A WWE RAW star is away for the time being, taking a mental health break. The announcement was made recently.
Xavier Woods is missing from WWE right now because of a mental health break
On RAW tonight, Grayson Waller announced that Xavier Woods was taking a mental health break and would be taking time away as a result. Woods had him read aloud a message while absent from the show.
“Unfortunately, brother Woods is taking a mental health break. And do you blame him, Byron? Imagine giving over ten years of your life to tag team wrestling. No time with family, no time with friends, giving everything to tag team wrestling. And what does he get in return? These fans boo him. The boys backstage are disrespectful, and worst of all, the guy who runs it all, Adam Pearce, disrespects him.”
He read a message from Xavier Woods saying that he was hundreds of miles away, but needed some time for his own mental health.
Kofi Kingston went on to cut a promo, saying that Dragon Lee and AJ Styles were random men, and they had been gifted the tag team titles by Adam Pearce, even though they were nothing. Kingston was going to say more, but Byron Saxton cut him off as they were out of time.
Xavier Woods’ message to the crowd in his absence includes “I felt it would be a travesty to make my return in a traffic-congested, smog-filled dump like Anaheim”

Xavier Woods has been one of the biggest WWE stars in the tag team division for years
As part of the New Day, Xavier Woods has been one of the biggest WWE stars for a long time in the tag team division, along with Kofi Kingston.
The stars are yet to wrestle in a rematch since losing the World Tag Titles, but it remains to be seen when or if that happens.
For now, Woods has missed two shows. If he returns on the next show, he’s expected to go after Adam Pearce following a social media conflict.
