Multi-time WWE Tag-Team Champion Xavier Woods is currently recovering from a shoulder injury that has kept him out of action for the past three months. Kofi Kingston announced on the February 16th, 2026, episode of WWE Raw that Woods would be taking time off to recover.
Woods' last match was a dark match before the 2026 Royal Rumble. The 13-time WWE Tag Team Champion is undergoing physical therapy with hopes of returning in a few weeks.
Xavier Woods' Recovery Status
In an interview with Wrestlezone, Woods described the current state of his shoulder and his outlook on recovery. He said:
I feel ok. Lifting things with my shoulder doesn’t feel ok. I kind of put it through like a meat grinder, so we’ll see how it is. Hopefully, it’s a few weeks of physical therapy, and then we’ll be back at it. But if not, I will let everybody know. But yeah, it’s alright. We’re just staying positive.
Woods is staying positive during his physical therapy. However, there is no confirmed return date at this time. He also made an appearance on February 23rd edition of WWE Raw where another superstar sustained an injury.
