Almost Perfect

It’s taken me two full days to respond to all my texts. I hadn’t been on social media until today and I’m overwhelmed by all the messages here too. So much love. So I can’t help but to be filled completely with gratitude… 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’m so thankful to have been surrounded by great friends and to have built so many unbreakable connections with people that I’m very proud to call my family. Most people go through life without ever experiencing a love like I have for Woods and E. That bond alone would have made this whole experience worth it. There are far too many people to mention by name here, but to everyone who has ever supported me, guided me, helped me, taught me, cheered for me, praised me, stood up for me, and even rooted against me: Thank you. I appreciate you more than words can say. My main mission has always been a simple one: To provide a comfortable life filled with heartwarming memories for my family. And, largely in part to all of you, I can proudly say that I have achieved that goal and more. This wasn’t supposed to be a novel, so let me wind it down with some advice: Do your best to live a life without regrets, control what you can control, always give it your all, and fight hard for what you believe in. Do not ever compromise or accept less than your due when it comes to your worth. Find the courage to believe in yourself and fearlessly pursue your goals and dreams, because anything is possible. The kid that was too small, short, skinny, and scrawny was never supposed to make it in this land of giants…yet here we are. And so… …as the sun sets on one chapter, so too must it rise in another. Tomorrow is indeed…a New Day. ☀️

For the past 16 years, WWE has been my home. It’s 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’ll carry with me forever — WrestleMania, championships, King of the Ring, arenas around the world, and the gift of connecting with all of you by being myself. The New Day gave me a bond with @TrueKofi and @WWEBigE that I’ll 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. UpUpDownDown became another piece of that same mission: a place for joy, friendship, and humanity. I’m so thankful to everyone, past and present, who helped build it brick by brick. To the locker room, producers, trainers, crew, camera teams, ring crew, everyone behind the scenes, and the props department - thank you. WWE has the most special and hardest working props department that youll ever find. Love you guys and none of this happens without you. 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… to walk away as Austin Creed.

Album Review for It’s Been Awful by Isaiah Rashad Damn, 5 whole ass years, and this is the album we get… like this is wild. This album is really fucking awesome bro. Lemme explain, this man managed to not only evolve as an artist, but he also managed to create his most cohesive project to date. There were so many elements to this project that showed not only growth but an incredible amount of artistry. Isaiah really has allowed his lyrical capabilities flourish with how detailed and unique his bars are. Nothing is overly complicated but you feel that you have a sense of relatability and understanding of the message that he is trying to convey. Being able to create characters, highlight that growing isn’t as simple as it should be and also that sometimes you just have to go through shit just to get through the day. The production on this album really is top notch. There are so many soulful and Jazz inspired samples that you really get a clear idea of the plans for the project. There are also some really great use of blues and even some psychedelic elements as well that warps some of the production into the lyrics creating a masterful blended sound. Don’t get it twisted, it isn’t all about low-fi beats. There are some real solid bass hits and a few tracks you can definitely get up and move to. The album from top to bottom is a carefully crafted masterpiece from all the different mixes of production and instrumentation and it flows so well. Honestly, this album has tons of replay value, and there are so many tracks that fit so many different vibes. Even with how heavy some of the actual lyrical content is, the production brings it together and allows this to be essentially one of the best albums of 2026. Zay really outdid himself with this one. Favorite Tracks: Same Sh!t, Cameras, 719 Freestyle Final Score: 9.8/10

@ItsLovelyLaveau Same! My first wwe shirt was a gift: their odd brown & green shirt. I left my ex gf’s (gf at the time) birthday festivities early to make sure I was locked in for Kofimania. We celebrated Friday- Sunday morning so she was aight 🤣

Me and my homeboy were locked in from day 1.

2014 - The Beginning of the New Day 2026 - The End of the New Day I just love that all three of them got to win something big in their careers. Thank you, New Day. End of an Era. ❤️🥲

@ItsLovelyLaveau I loved their podcast! I just hated that it ended.

“Define birth.” Pisses me off every time… E was DONE

@RomanEra0 I don’t watch but the hate she gets for this is overblown. It’s definitely apples to oranges in divisions, time periods, & defenses. But it looks likes she averages like 1 defense a month during this 3+ year time period

ROH Champion Athena has surpassed Bruno Sammartino's 2nd WWF Title Reign..

Just got reference later

@TheeUncleJerry @tomasramosru I really hope this venom isn’t at GameStop

First look at NEW Limited Edition Funko POPs! POP! Supreme: All new Venom & Babyfier 151 📸 @tomasramosru

trying to write the most evil character they can conceive of but they can’t keep up with the level of the actual president’s depravity

@ItsLovelyLaveau Yoooooooo

@KillaKreww As odd as it may sound, it’s not surprising that people who don’t watch basketball didn’t know who he was til dating a someone they knew. She made him relevant to them not in general. The weird thing is that some people were mad he got with her but are celebrating him cheating.

Comedian had the WHOLE room of women PISSED after doing a full stand-up bit about Megan Thee Stallion FUMBLING Klay Thompson while the guys were in TEARS 😭🔥👀

@EliteClubS0B TKO did a good job putting more eyes on the product until or involved celebs in major storylines. Travis Scott made Cena and Cody look stupid. Pat & Jelly were just unnecessary in the Orton-Cody story. Actual talent like Aleister Black would have been more useful.

There has reportedly been an angle pitched for Stephen A. Smith to get involved with WWE this summer, and it is expected to happen given his strong relationship with several TKO officials. ESPN is said to be pleased and enthusiastic about his potential involvement with WWE. (@WrestleVotes on @FightfulSelect)

@FatiTheDream I love being a libra

Only strongly agreeing cuz my dad is a Libra but this is highkey an accurate list overall.

@prmade313raised Yeah I woulda shot his ass.

I KNOW YOU FUCKING LYINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG 🥹

@ComplexMusic I mean it could be but it means nothing hearing it from a frequent and recent collaborator. Drake did two songs for his last album. He produced on FATD including Rich Baby Daddy. He probably produced on Iceman. I’d rather hear an objective party say something like that.

"What he’s about to do is completely unheard of in music… like nothing we’ve ever seen before. The world Isn’t ready for this…" — Gordo on Drake new album via X (2026)

THE RUMORS ARE TRUE! 👀

The End of an Era 💔 After 11 years, Black Clover by Yuki Tabata has officially concluded with chapter 392 in Jump GIGA Spring 2026. One of the most beloved manga series of all time has reached it's final page. Thank you for every chapter, every battle, and every moment that made us believe that hard work truly can surpass talent 🍀 But it's not goodbye just yet, the anime is set to return with a second season this October.

@WhiteHouse This page is just so unnecessary. One day you’ll post the wrong thing and he will call you low iq just like he did his former supporters

Enough is enough.
