During a press conference while on the promotional tour of the Philippines, Xavier Woods expressed real frustration with fans who are overly critical citing comparison of the main roster and NXT. He stated the following:
"When people talk about the difference between the organizations – not even organizations – between like NXT and the main roster. So when they say like, ‘Oh man! Takeover killed it. SummerSlam, this is gonna suck! It’s on the same company. What is there to complain about?”
Woods stated that it "blows his mind" that people complain about wrestling shows that they don't like given the number of different shows out there, "You just got an awesome wrestling show on Saturday night, you just had an awesome wrestling show on Sunday, then you’re gonna watch Raw on Monday, and SmackDown on Tuesday, then NXT,” said the New Day member. “What are you complaining about? And then like, you can watch New Japan. You can watch Triple A. You can watch so much wrestling from all corners of the world. And it’s all awesome and it’s all good. It’s all different guys and girls portraying their form of art that they love – that they wanna give to you.”
Xavier stated that this overly critical nature is painful when performers like himself give maximum effort for the fans, "So anytime anyone complains about wrestling it’s so annoying to me because people come off as these entitled infants Because, in reality, wrestling hurts so bad. And then we’re hurting ourselves to entertain the masses. And sometimes the masses wanna tell us how much it sucks,” he ended.
