It comes as Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods not only returned to action on tonight’s SmackDown, but won the brand’s Tag Team titles, defeating Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro. The former champions had held the titles for 82 days, defeating Big E and Kofi Kingston on April 17.
After the match, Stephanie McMahon came out and announced that the new champions would be moving to Raw. However, Big E was selected next for SmackDown, effectively splitting the New Day. All three members, who were still in the ring when the announcement was made, looked dejected.
It was later announced that a New Day farewell match would take place on next week’s SmackDown, with the trio facing Sheamus, Cesaro, and Shinsuke Nakamura.
The New Day have been a trio since 2014, winning the Raw Tag Team titles two times and the SmackDown Tag Team titles seven times.
