WWE SUPERSTARS HIT BONDI BEACH

GLOBAL WWE superstars descended on Bondi Beach on Monday, hosting a surprise meet and greet with their Aussie fans for the first time since 2019.

International WWE Tag Team, and current NXT Tag Team champions, The New Day — Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Big E — got in a pop-up wrestling ring to celebrate Binge becoming the new streaming home of the WWE Network in Australia.

The American pro wrestlers have been a fanfavourite trio since 2014, and are also ringing in former WWE champion Kingston’s

15th year on the main roster.

“We are really sappy,” Kingston, 41, said of their relationship.

“We’ve always enjoyed each other. We’ve always fought for each other, and that extends to our personal lives. We realised very quickly we have a very unnatural bond.”

In addition to being a WWE, RAW, and SmackDown Tag Team Champion, Woods, broke the Guinness World Record for the most-subscribed-to celebrity gaming YouTube channel.

“A long time ago we realised we’re trying to make our minutes on TV count, and do as many GIF-worthy

things as possible,” the 36year-old joked.

But for viewers, Woods said the key hook was “there’s literally no offseason”, with wrestlers in the ring 52 weeks of the year.

Following an injury in March 2022 that broke his neck, founding member Big E, 36, has been in recovery, and assisting with recruiting the next generation to the sport.

“We want to be as good as we can bell to bell,” he said, “but we want to bring a tonne of personality, that’s how legends are made.”

“Some people recall the matches and moves, but most remember the nonsense and colour.”
