Kofi Kingston on Brock Lesnar loss

Though fans are still over the moon about Kofi’s phenomenal victory against Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35, he has been totally out of the world title picture since that aforementioned controversial defeat. During a recent interview on the Out of Character podcast, the Ghanaian wrestler recalled how Lesnar’s move during that match helped him financially. “The F5 from Brock, I think a lot of people were surprised with how quickly it happened, you know? I don’t get paid by the hour, so (…) it was the most money I’ve made in the least amount of time, aside from the Rumble last year.”, he explained.

However, this was not the first time. Kofi also spoke about that controversial match of his career last year during a conversation with Steve Fall of NBC Sports Boston.

Kofi Kingston misses his signature spot in Royal Rumble

We have certainly known the 41-year-old star for his insane spot in Royal Rumble Matches. But unfortunately, this was not the case for the last two years. Gunther, who was an excellent performer in this Royal Rumble, caused Kofi’s elimination during merely 15 minutes of his entry. It looked like Kofi tried hard to save himself from elimination, as he did always. He desperately tried to land on the desk chair, but the plan didn’t work out. He fell to the ground instead, missing his spot for two consecutive years.

Despite what happened in the Royal Rumble or the most disputable SmackDown match, Kofi Kingston remains a fan favorite for whatever he has done over his 15-year career span in WWE. The veteran superstar is currently the NXT Couples champion, along with Xavier Woods, and his timeless journey of legacy continues.
