Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Saturday that Kingston and Woods mutually left after rejecting requests to restructure their existing deals into new TKO-branded contracts.
- WWE moved both men to its official Alumni page, and reporting indicates a standard 90‑day non‑compete will keep them off other promotions’ TV until early August.
- JC Mateo and Tonga Loa also departed in the same wave, trimming Solo Sikoa’s MFT faction on SmackDown and removing two recent additions to the roster.
- Reactions from wrestlers across companies poured in, with speculation focusing on possible AEW or NJPW moves once contract restrictions expire.
- The departures close a decade-plus run that produced a record 13 WWE-branded tag title reigns for The New Day and highlight a broader post‑WrestleMania roster reset under TKO.
