WWE has witnessed some amazing talents emerge in the last two decades. Many of them have gone on to bigger things outside WWE as well. However, some stars have remained a staple of the company since their debut and have performed at the highest level regardless of their position on the card.
The likes of Dolph Ziggler and The Miz are just some of the names that fill that criterion. Another name that pops up in this discussion and who has been a reliable performer for most of his career is Kofi Kingston.
Kingston debuted in WWE’s version of ECW in 2009 and has been with the company ever since. During this time he has won every championship he has competed for and is still going strong. Recently, the New Day member took to Twitter to mark his run of 15 years in WWE.

Fans thank Kofi Kingston for his incredible endurance in WWE
The fact that Kofi Kingston has become a seasoned veteran in WWE having spent 15 years with the company, is an incredible achievement in itself. He has seen different eras and various changes during his long run with the promotion. Kingston is a solid performer for WWE, who continues to entertain the audiences. In fact, his Royal Rumble gig, where he would find different ways each year to escape elimination, has been fascinating in itself.
As he reached the milestone of having been in WWE for 15 years, the 15-time WWE Tag Team Champion shared the moment on Twitter. He wrote, “15…truly blessed to still be doing this. Thank you all.” For someone who had his ups and downs and problems with connecting with the crowd, this is truly a remarkable achievement.
15…truly blessed to still be doing this. Thank you all 🖤

Kofi Kingston’s rise in WWE
Kofi Kingston has truly come really far in his career, and staying in WWE for 15 years is no mean feat. After his debut in 2008 as the clean-cut babyface, we saw his aggressive side when he famously hit a ‘Boom Drop’ on Randy Orton through the table at Madison Square Garden.
He then found his niche in the tag team division while also winning the Intercontinental and United States Championship in the meantime. Kofi would then completely transform his career as part of the New Day as he became a tag team specialist and etched his name as one of the best tag team wrestlers of all time.
