Report: Xavier Woods Makes "Little To Nothing" From UpUpDownDown, WWE Owns Brand

Xavier Woods is believed to make "little to no additional money" from his efforts with UpUpDownDown, the highly successful YouTube gaming channel he has helmed since 2015, overseeing its growth to 2.27 million subscribers over the years.

This is according to a series of new reports from Fightful Select, who state that Woods' UpUpDownDown revenues count against his WWE downside. The same goes for the other creators on the channel, which often features a regular cast of WWE wrestlers.

UpUpDownDown production appears to be on ice as a result of this. Fightful state that Woods had held out on producing new content until he was able to obtain a deal for the channel, with his contributors ceasing creation themselves in solidarity with the New Day man, who they believe is being taken advantage of in the situation.

It is noted that at no point did Woods actually own UpUpDownDown himself, with the property always belonging to WWE. Despite this, Fightful's sources believe the recent King of the Ring winner should have at least been rewarded, financially, for growing the channel and sparking its continued success.

This isn't necessarily the end of UpUpDownDown, and it is stated that there is no heat on Woods within the promotion. It appears for now, however, that the channel is on hold, with almost everybody Fightful spoke to on the matter taking Xavier's side.
