Bobby Lashley Calls WWE’s New Day Releases a “Fumble,” Eyes AEW Opportunity

Bobby Lashley criticized WWE’s decision to release Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, calling the move “a fumble” and “horrible,” in an interview with Good Karma Wrestling. Lashley argued the duo deserved to be retired or compensated fairly after long service, and noted that Kingston and Woods left after refusing a pay cut proposed by TKO; he suggested their arrival could immediately strengthen AEW’s tag team division.

Lashley also praised the idea of healthy competition between promotions, saying AEW continues to improve and could benefit from new talent while fans follow both companies. The former AEW Tag Team Champion said he still aims for AEW World Championship gold, and pointed to Kofi’s public comments about knowing one’s worth as emblematic of why WWE’s decision was surprising.
