The New Level commented after AEW All In about their exits from WWE and why they’re excited to be in AEW. Austin Creed and Kofi debuted at AEW All In and won the Tyios Championships with Swerve Strickland. The debut came about four months after they parted ways with WWE, where they were of course the New Day.
Creed and Kofi spoke during the post All-In media scrum about their departure from their old company and more. You can see highlights below:
Creed On Their WWE Exit:
“So, I always think about this like personalities in relationships. Different people have different personalities and those personalities can grow. Sometimes they grow together; sometimes they grow apart. There is no bad, no good. You are excited about the opportunities you had, the things you learned. But that relationship was no longer one that we felt we needed to be in.
“And so to be able to look across ‘the pond’ and see what was happening here, especially with tag team wrestling. Because yes, we’re pro wrestlers, but I, ferom the time I was a child, wanted to be part of a tag team. Because I love the fact that I can be there to protect my brother, and he can be there to protect me. So to be able to come to a place that admires that, that wants to cultivate that. With legendary tag teams, with young tag teams so that when the legendary ones are gone, the younger ones are fulfilling that prophecy and they’re keeping everything going. That’s what is important to us. To be able to come here and do that is why we’re here.”
Kofi On Their WWE Exit:
“I can’t sum it up any better than that, you know? Like, I’m not one to really live in the past. I’m really all about looking towards the future… And as Creed said, we just wanted to be part of the greatest tag team division in the history of wrestling. And that’s really what it comes down to, being able to mix it up with these guys is really what it’s all about for us. That’s why we’re here.”
