02:45Comments
02:45Whatever it is
02:46In a future episode
02:47Today
02:47This episode is kind of
02:49It's a remote episode
02:50I apologize if there's issues
02:52With the sound quality
02:53But when I see breaking news
02:54I need to make sure
02:55That I get it out to you guys
02:56As soon as possible
02:57Get you my reactions
02:58Give me the details
02:59As best I can gather
03:00And today
03:01The big news broke
03:02That Xavier Woods
03:04Kofi Kingston
03:05The New Day
03:06Have officially departed
03:07WWE
03:08The New Day is over
03:10They are now
03:11Leaving the company
03:12They just signed
03:13Contract extensions
03:14In 2025
03:15They were supposed to be
03:16In the company
03:17Until 2030
03:18But
03:19They are being released early
03:20It is being said
03:21That they were supposed
03:22To be a part of
03:22The original talent
03:23Roster cut down
03:24That they did last week
03:25With the 24 people
03:26Released then
03:27But they
03:28Were negotiating
03:29Kofi Kingston
03:30And Xavier Woods
03:31Both apparently
03:32Waking well into
03:33The seven figures
03:34They had extremely
03:35Lucrative contracts
03:36It was
03:37And TKO
03:38Has been tasked
03:39The word is
03:40Has been tasked
03:41With shedding millions
03:42Of dollars in salary
03:43People that they're
03:44Paying these high salaries
03:45To that they don't believe
03:46That they are still
03:48Getting the same return
03:49On investment from
03:49So
03:51Not taking anything
03:52Away from the New Day
03:53But it has been
03:53A very long time
03:55Since Kofi Mania
03:56It's been a long time
03:57Since Booty O's
03:58Came out
03:59And things like that
03:59I think if done
04:01Correctly
04:02WWE could have
04:03Still gotten
04:03Much much more
04:05Life out of them
04:05I think especially
04:06After the
04:07The heel turn
04:08They really dropped
04:09The ball
04:09And who knows
04:10What we'd be talking
04:11About right now
04:11Had they done that
04:12Correctly
04:12But they did not
04:14And instead
04:14Now Kofi Kingston
04:16And Xavier Woods
04:17Who Kofi Kingston
04:18Can still go by Kofi
04:19That's his real name
04:20He can't use
04:21The Kingston part
04:22Because that's
04:23A WWE trademark
04:23But he can go by Kofi
04:25And Xavier Woods
04:26He's going to have
04:27To go by Apollo Creed
04:28His real name
04:29Because he can't
04:30Use Xavier Woods
04:31Again WWE
04:31Intellectual property
04:32But there's already
04:34Conversation
04:35If you go on X
04:35And check out
04:36What the people
04:36Are saying
04:37FTR
04:38Right away
04:39Talking about
04:39It being a new day
04:41MJF tweeting
04:42It's a new day
04:43Yes it is
04:43And that's
04:44You can't ask
04:45For a bigger
04:45Endorsement
04:46Than MJF
04:47Getting excited
04:48About that
04:48Free agency
04:49Opportunity
04:51Talent from
04:51All over AEW
04:52And if you think
04:53About it
04:53In the back
04:54When Kofi won
04:55The world championship
04:56At WWE
04:57The WWE championship
04:58MVP was
04:59In one of the
05:00Viral videos
05:01Getting emotional
05:02Seeing Kofi win
05:03The WWE championship
05:04It was such a
05:05Beautiful moment
05:06You know he's
05:07Going to be in the
05:07Back championing
05:08The cause
05:08To bring Kofi
05:10Into AEW
05:11And of course
05:12I believe firmly
05:13That
05:15Xavier Woods
05:16Will go with him
05:16Wherever they go
05:17I don't see
05:18The two of them
05:18Going to TNA
05:19I really don't
05:20If they were
05:20Going to turn down
05:21The kind of money
05:22TKO probably
05:23Was going to
05:23Offer them
05:24I would imagine
05:25They're going to
05:25Want to go
05:25Some place
05:26That has a
05:26Much more
05:26Lucrative offer
05:27Than what TNA
05:28Would probably
05:28Offer at this
05:29Point in time
05:29Even though TNA
05:30Is trying to
05:31Serve a lot of
05:31Masters
05:31And keep
05:32You know
05:34Gaining ratings
05:34On their
05:35You know
05:36Their new channel
05:37I think AEW
05:38Is the place
05:38For both of them
05:39To go
05:39Where they'll
05:40Probably get
05:40Better exposure
05:41And more opportunities
05:42To really showcase
05:43Their talent
05:45Kofi has been
05:45In WWE for so
05:46Long
05:46I did see
05:49Got to give
05:49The respect
05:50To WrestleTalk News
05:51Where they talked
05:51About how a lot
05:52Of people
05:53Are reporting
05:53That they thought
05:55Kofi and Xavier
05:56Were going to be
05:56WWE lifers
05:57And then the
05:58Sentiment is
05:59Nobody is a
06:00WWE lifer
06:01Anymore
06:01For two reasons
06:02One
06:03There's a
06:03Viable option
06:04For another
06:05Place to work
06:05Which is AEW
06:06And two
06:07TKO with
06:08These talent
06:09Cuts are
06:09Ruthless
06:10And on top
06:11Of everything
06:12We just
06:12Talked about
06:13In terms of
06:13Kofi Kingston
06:14And Xavier
06:14Woods
06:15They are not
06:16The only
06:16Releases
06:17Today
06:17JC Mateo
06:19And Tonga
06:20Loa
06:20From the
06:21MFTs
06:22Also released
06:23Today
06:23Now look
06:24I'm not here
06:25To defend
06:25Tonga Loa
06:26I'm not trying
06:27To make fun
06:28Of the guy
06:28But his
06:29Mobility has
06:30Been dramatically
06:31Reduced
06:32Since being
06:33In New Japan
06:33Pro Wrestling
06:34He doesn't
06:35Do a lot
06:35Can't move
06:36Like he used
06:36To
06:37And I don't
06:38Think they
06:38Were getting
06:39Much of a
06:39Return on
06:39Investment
06:40For Tonga
06:41Loa
06:41However
06:42When it
06:42Comes to
06:43JC Mateo
06:45Being pigeonholed
06:46Into the
06:46MFTs
06:47Has really
06:47Hampered
06:48His ability
06:48To showcase
06:49What he
06:49Could do
06:50He's a
06:50Phenomenal
06:51Wrestler
06:52And if
06:52Given more
06:53Of an
06:53Opportunity
06:54Would have
06:54Really been
06:55Able to
06:55Turn some
06:56Heads
06:56When he
06:56Was
06:57Montanza
06:58Cueto
06:58In Lucha
06:59Underground
06:59When he
07:00Was in
07:00New Japan
07:00Pro Wrestling
07:01As Jeff
07:02Cobb
07:03I mean
07:03That guy
07:04Is amazing
07:06So I
07:07Really feel
07:07Like WWE
07:08Dropped the
07:08Ball with
07:08Him as
07:09Well
07:09But now
07:10That's
07:10Four more
07:10Names
07:11Bringing
07:11The total
07:12This year
07:12Up to
07:1228 people
07:13That WWE
07:14Has moved
07:15On from
07:15Since
07:16The close
07:17Of
07:17WrestleMania
07:18Some of
07:19Them are
07:19Super shocking
07:20Some of
07:20Them not
07:21So much
07:21I'm not
07:21Surprised at
07:22Tonga Loa
07:23When you're
07:23Cutting
07:23People
07:24I'm super
07:25Surprised at
07:25The New
07:25Day
07:26I'm very
07:26Surprised at
07:28JC Mateo
07:28Never getting
07:29A chance to
07:29Do something
07:30Beyond you
07:31Know this
07:31MFT thing
07:32Going back to
07:33The original
07:34Releases
07:34It's well
07:35Documented how
07:35Shocking some
07:36Of those are
07:36And how the
07:37Chance for the
07:38We want
07:38Kyrie
07:38I wonder what
07:39That's doing to
07:40People on
07:41Raw when
07:42They're hearing
07:42That the
07:42Talent as
07:43Well as
07:43Triple H
07:44As well as
07:44People in
07:45TKO
07:45Maybe these
07:46People don't
07:46Realize what
07:47They lost
07:47When they
07:48Lost Kyrie
07:48I wonder
07:49If we'll see
07:50The same
07:51Kind of
07:51Reaction
07:52From the
07:53Fans
07:53Monday night
07:54When it
07:54Comes to
07:55Kofi
07:55And Xavier
07:56If you're
07:57Listening to
07:57This show
07:58And if you
07:58Love the
07:58Work of the
07:59New Day
07:59To 13
08:00Time

08:02Champions
08:02You want
08:03To show
08:03Them love
08:03And respect

08:05Enough to be
08:06At Raw this
08:06Week and
08:07For every
08:07Show for

08:08Next coming

08:11A we want
08:12New Day

08:13On we
08:13Need to see
08:14Those those
08:15Kinds of
08:15Support if
08:16You really
08:16Want to see
08:16Those talent
08:17Back in
08:17WWE
08:17Now if
08:18The other
08:18Side of
08:19The coin
08:19Is possible
08:20Too if
08:20You're
08:20Somebody who
08:20Can't wait
08:21To see
08:21Them in
08:21AEW
08:22I challenge
08:23You to
08:24Do this
08:24Instead
08:25Start an
08:26AEW
08:27Chant at
08:27WWE
08:27Events
08:28They can
08:28Blip out
08:29So much
08:29They blip
08:30Out too
08:30Much
08:31It's gonna
08:31Be worthless
08:31To watch
08:32Your show
08:32We need
08:33To be
08:33Blowing up
08:33The fact
08:34That TKO
08:35Is being
08:35Ruthless
08:35About their
08:36Approach
08:36To wrestling
08:37Their approach
08:38To business
08:40Everything's
08:40About the
08:40Bottom line
08:41And I get
08:41That in
08:42The business
08:42World
08:42But if
08:43You keep
08:43Cutting
08:43What your
08:44Fans
08:44Want
08:45You have
08:46No fans
08:46Left
08:47So I
08:47Don't
08:48Know
08:48I don't
08:48Know
08:48What the
08:48Fan reaction
08:49Is going
08:49To be
08:49To this
08:50I think
08:50Obviously
08:50I think
08:50People are
08:51Going to
08:51Be shocked
08:51But at
08:52The same
08:52Time
08:53I don't
08:54Necessarily
08:54Think it
09:00Not going
09:00To give
09:01Them
09:01Something
09:01Better
09:01To do
09:02I don't
09:02Want to
09:02See anybody
09:03Lose their
09:03Job
09:04Absolutely
09:04Not
09:04But I
09:04Firmly
09:05Believe all
09:05Four of
09:06These talents
09:06Including
09:07Tangaloa
09:08Will find
