It\u2019s taken me two full days to respond to all my texts,&#8221; Kingston wrote. &#8220;I hadn\u2019t been on social media until today, and I\u2019m overwhelmed by all the messages here too. So much love. So I can\u2019t help but to be filled completely with gratitude\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My story has been nothing short of remarkable, and I am truly blessed to have had such an illustrious, accolade-laden, and, most importantly, fun-filled career. I made my childhood dream become the most wonderful reality. Throughout this journey, I\u2019m so thankful to have been surrounded by great friends and to have built so many unbreakable connections with people that I\u2019m very proud to call my family.&#8221; Read Kingston&#8217;s full post below or via his <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TrueKofi\/status\/2051398998280261670\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Woods also addressed his exit and revealed his name outside WWE. &#8220;For the past 16 years, WWE has been my home. It\u2019s where I grew up, found myself, failed, learned, and got to live out things the younger version of me could only dream about. When I first walked into FCW, I just wanted a chance to prove I belonged and to bring something different to professional wrestling. That chance became a life full of moments I\u2019ll carry with me forever \u2014 WrestleMania, championships, King of the Ring, arenas around the world, and the gift of connecting with all of you by being myself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The New Day gave me a bond with @TrueKofi and @WWEBigE that I\u2019ll cherish for life. You believed in us, even when our ideas were wild, and because of that, we got to show people that being unapologetically yourself is a strength&#8230; And to everyone who has been part of this ride: thank you for believing in me. Thank you for letting me be Xavier Woods. Thank you for giving me the confidence\u2026 to walk away as Austin Creed.&#8221; Read his full post below or via his <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AustinCreedWins\/status\/2051398443847835795\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> For those who missed it, the news broke over the weekend that Kingston and Woods opted to leave WWE rather than renegotiate their contracts. Woods worked as Consequences Creed in TNA, and he has used the Austin Creed name outside WWE, including on his <i>UpUpDownDown<\/i> YouTube channel. Kingston should be able to use the name Kofi Nahaje Kingston, which he used on the independent scene before working for WWE. At the very least, he will be able to go by Kofi, as that&#8217;s his real first name. For those wondering, Big E has yet to comment on his New Day brothers leaving WWE, but he did retweet their social media statements included below.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">It\u2019s taken me two full days to respond to all my texts.
