D-Von Dudley Discusses How He Helped Xavier Woods Join WWE

Posted By: Ben Jordan Kerin on Mar 17, 2018

Lilian Garcia recently interviewed soon to be WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley on her Chasing Glory podcast in which he discussed how he mentored Xavier Woods earlier in his career when they were both in TNA and how he advised Woods to jump to WWE:

 “Xavier Woods was in an organization [TNA Wrestling] that I am not too keen on. This organization treated him bad, and Xavier told me that he may have a chance to go to WWE, but he may not and he doesn’t know what to do. We sat and talked for about 40 minutes; till this day he thanked me for making that phone call, and I believe it was Terry Taylor who was helping doing the hiring at the time, not sure who was in charge, but he basically thanked me for helping him make that decision in going to the WWE. I am not saying that there wouldn’t have been a New Day without Xavier Woods, but each individual brings something to the table, and I believe the success of all three of them with the charisma and personality is what made New Day who they are today. So, I was very happy when I came back to WWE and Woods was there. I had forgotten all about it until he reminded me that I was one of the reasons that made him go back and have that conversation with WWE.”
