Xavier Woods: It's Been Really Cool Getting Back to WWE Live Events

Woods picked up a serious injury in October 2019

Xavier Woods is relishing being back on the road with the WWE Universe for Monday Night Raw, pay-per-views and live events once again.

WWE returned to live events, touring, and fans in attendance in July after almost 18 months of not having crowds at their shows, aside from WrestleMania 37 in April in Tampa, Florida.

For Woods, the period without performing in front of fans was even longer after suffering a torn Achilles in October 2019, and the New Day member is enjoying every moment back in front of a live crowd.

Speaking on the Rasslon’ With Brandon Walker podcast, Woods said: "For me, it’s a little extra because I tore my Achilles in October when we were in Australia. So, I was out for a few months before lockdown even happened. 

"So, for me, it’s coming back to that visceral energy. And the fact that people are bringing T.V. energy to the live events. That’s where normally it’s – you know, a live event. And it’s fun, it’s great. You can mess around a little bit more, so the crowd is super interactive. But when you go to Raw or SmackDown, everyone is losing their minds because of the lights, the cameras, the fireworks. It’s a little more amped up. 

"And it feels like people, having been in their house so long, that they just miss wrestling and they bring that T.V. energy to non-televised shows. And that helps us a lot because we can absorb that and give it back to them. So it’s been really fun being back on the road with people. It’s been really cool."
