Xavier Woods shares his plans for a movie-styled match for The New Day

Following the success of the Boneyard match between The Undertaker and AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36, talks of doing more cinematic bouts in WWE have been doing the rounds.

The Boneyard clash between was one of a kind, stunning affair, that garnered praise from all quarters, while the Firefly Fun House match between John Cena and Bray Wyatt was also well-received.

And now, WWE superstar Xavier Woods has pitched his weird and wild idea for a cinematic match for The New Day, while speaking on The No-Sports Report Podcast.

Woods’ crazy pitch for a cinematic match

Elaborating on how his movie-styled bout for The New Day would look like, Woods said:

“The New Day match, essentially my way of explaining to people that don’t watch wrestling, I say, ‘Hey, remember Lisa Frank back in the day? All those folders with the bright colors and dolphins? Imagine if Lisa Frank just threw up on three black guys. That’s New Day.”

Woods pictured the match taking place in some sort of a magical, rainbow world.

Drawing inspiration from The Lion King, the New Day member added that there would be a shadowland where nobody was allowed to go, but the tag-team champs would venture into the area and all hell breaks loose.

“So, uh, lots of sunshine, lots of rainbows, lots of inanimate objects talking to you… It’d be super weird. I like the dissonance between something horrible happening like us just being someone to a pulp with like a nice, children’s music like “Baby Shark” playing in the background.”

Woods has been out of action with an Achilles injury since last October. Since then Kofi Kingston and Big E have won the SmackDown Tag Team Championships twice.

The pair successfully defended the tag team belts on Sunday night against The Forgotten Sons, Lucha House Party and The Miz & John Morrison in Fatal 4-Way match at the Money in the Bank PPV on Sunday.
