WWE Rivalry Heats Up as The New Day Clashes with The War Raiders

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Tensions between WWE tag teams The New Day and The War Raiders escalated this week, with a heated social media exchange setting the stage for a potential feud. The conflict intensified after Ivar of The War Raiders mocked Kofi Kingston on X (formerly Twitter), referencing Kingston’s infamous 2019 loss to Brock Lesnar.

“That TikTok ban lasted about this long, huh?” Ivar wrote, accompanied by a photo of Kingston’s quick defeat. The jab, which alluded to a recent TikTok ban and reinstatement, reignited a long-standing rivalry between the two teams.

Xavier Woods of The New Day quickly fired back, targeting Ivar’s recent neck injury. “Trust me, with the way your neck is held together with duct tape and floss, you don’t want these problems,” Woods retorted. The exchange has fueled speculation of an upcoming storyline, with both teams scheduled to appear on tonight’s episode of RAW.

The New Day, once a fan-favorite faction, has faced backlash since their recent heel turn and the ousting of Big E. Their confrontation with The War Raiders, the current World Tag Team Champions, adds pressure to prove themselves as a dominant heel duo. Fans are eagerly watching to see how this rivalry unfolds as WrestleMania 41 approaches.

Meanwhile, WWE continues to expand its brand, filing for new trademarks on January 19. The company submitted applications for “D1,” “D-1,” and “D-One” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The filings describe entertainment services related to wrestling exhibitions, fan clubs, and online sports entertainment content.

As the Road to WrestleMania progresses, the wrestling world is abuzz with anticipation. The New Day’s heel turn and their clash with The War Raiders could reshape the tag team division, offering fresh storylines and high-stakes matches for fans worldwide.
