Booker T On What Big E Needs For A Main Event Push, Xavier Woods Responds

– Booker T discussed Big E.’s new singles push and what he thinks he needs to do to get seen as a potential top guy on the Hall of Fame podcast this week. Here is what he had to say:

“Big E. right now is looking to make a singles run. Xavier Woods of course, he’s finished. [laughs] Kofi Kingston’s supposed to be out for six weeks … I think Big E is going to have to shed a few things in order for people to look at him like the world champion. And I don’t know if his, you know, the gear maybe. Some forms of the gear, the colors as well. But then again, people say ‘Oh, well he shouldn’t say anything. So I’m not gonna sit here and say, just because I don’t want the internet going off or saying, ‘Ah, Booker saying he needs to do this, just like Matt Riddle needs to put on a pair of boots.’

“But I just think Big E still trying to be the New Day is not going to work for him, as far as him working at the top of the card. I’m talking about being the main attraction. I’m talking about being the guy that the company has put in position to be the guy. I don’t think that’s gonna catapult him to that level as far as still trying to be the new day. And the thing is, you can’t rehash something that you’ve been doing for so long and think that’s what’s going to take you to the next level.”

– Xavier Woods took to Twitter to respond to Booker’s comments, saying, “Because doing what other people told us to do worked so well for us before we started doing what we wanted to do…. oh wait.”
