Coming up next, it’s The Boo Day. That’s right, The Boo Day getting booed out of your own hometown and in your hometown arena in front of your mom. The Boo Day sucks.

Karrion Kross endorses The New Day’s new direction

The recent actions of Kingston and Woods have garnered attention from unexpected quarters. Following their struggles against The Final Testament earlier this year, Karrion Kross has expressed a change of heart regarding the duo.

The former NXT Champion took to social media to share his perspective on their decision to separate from Big E:

I woke up this morning with a bit of guilt, I just want to take a moment to do this publicly and apologize to @TrueKofi. I had him all wrong. Right now is a great time to look inwards for everyone to do the same. Him and @AustinCreedWins banning together as brothers against the world takes bravery that most people don’t have. They have an incredibly inspiring story.

The New Day’s recent heel turn has garnered support from wrestling interviewer Chris Van Vliet, who praised Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods’ current character work.

Van Vliet addressed fan concerns about the direction change on his INSIGHT podcast. The veteran interviewer laid out his perspective on the storyline’s potential:

No, not at all. They are already doing some of the best work of their careers, I think, and we’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible here. It also is setting up for a possible return – who knows? – if they’re even able to do this, but can you imagine if Big E does get cleared to wrestle? The story that could be told here with Kofi and Xavier, man, so good.
