Xavier Woods has officially given a name to the group of WWE Superstars that includes himself, Big E and Kofi Kingston. Woods posted on Instagram that the trio would be called “Speed Force”.
Several months ago when the group began appearing on Main Event and at live events, reports starting going around about a “New Nation” stable. The name was a reference to the classic “Nation of Domination” stable that featured mostly African-American wrestlers, with a few notable exceptions. Xavier Woods has been outspoken about his dislike of the “New Nation” branding by fans, denying that the group has anything to do with race, and more about three intelligent, athletic friends.
