WWE superstar Xavier Woods may be facing serious consequences following a harrowing match on the August 18, 2025, episode of RAW that has left fans and insiders buzzing.

After battling Penta El Zero Miedo, Woods delivered a fiery promo, blasting WWE management and accusing Adam Pearce of sending a “masked mercenary” to cause him harm. However, recent reports suggest that Woods might be grappling with a legitimate injury.

According to Fightful Select, Woods was reportedly expressing backstage that his neck was indeed 'messed up.' Eyewitness accounts even claimed he was spotted wearing a neck brace later that night.

Sources indicate that while the full extent of the injury is yet to be confirmed, Woods was able to leave the venue on his own, which initially signs might not be too severe.

This incident has drawn additional attention following Woods’ emotional Twitter video, where he critiqued WWE for mishandling injuries and pointed out double standards in how they protect members of The New Day. He asserted that the move by Penta, known as the Mexican Destroyer, should never have been allowed in the first place.

“Banned from WWE for years due to the extreme damage it can inflict on the neck… the Mexican Destroyer strikes again,” he lamented.

While many speculate if this could be part of a larger storyline, the fact that Woods needed a neck brace has sparked genuine concern among fans and colleagues alike.
