Xavier Woods Reveals He Underwent Surgery: “The Lymphoma That Was Carved Out Of The Back Of My Head”
A successful operation for Xavier Woods.
It was advertised for WWE x AAA Worlds Collide that New Day (Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston) would be challenging Psycho Clown and Pagano for the AAA World Tag Team Championships.
The New Day, alongside Grayson Waller, were interviewed before the match, and Woods revealed that Waller would be filling in for him because he had to undergo surgery on his head. Woods attributed that to taking Penta’s Mexican Destroyer. Woods stated that he had his ‘head cut open.’
After Waller and Kingston failed to capture the titles, Woods took to X and revealed that he actually had undergone surgery. He had a lump on the back of his head and stated that he had lymphoma carved out.
For those of you doubting that I had surgery yesterday morning. Here is a before and after pic. Plus the lymphoma that was carved out of the back of my head. This was the result of @ScrapDaddyAP instructing @PENTAELZEROM to injure me. Thanks Penta#ThankGodForTheNewDay https://t.co/auYKQTkLKQ pic.twitter.com/v69bo4Je9s
