Kofi Kingston is riding the wave of a Cinderella story heading into WrestleMania 35. Although not confirmed yet, he is very much expected to face Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at MetLife Stadium.
Kofi recently talked to The Independent in the UK where he spoke about WWE’s older talents still having a lot to offer and the bond between The New Day. Below are some highlights.
Kofi on the reality of The New Day’s on-screen bond:
“I get emotional thinking about it, he went on to say. What we do is entertainment, but there is a layer to it that is so real.
The struggle for all of us getting on to television was a very real struggle that we all went through together. The fact we made it… it’s almost as if we went to war together, and we made it – but we’re still fighting, but only for the benefit of all that hard work.
Our support for each other is very real.”
Kofi on some of the older talent in WWE having more to offer:
“AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Randy Orton… you forget how long they’ve been doing this for.
I don’t think there’s a person watching them that would say ‘they need to hang up their boots’ – they’ve got a lot more gas left in the tank. That’s just a testament to how good they are, and how good they’ve been over time.
Kofi on new talent getting opportunities:
“There’s a lot of talent out there, man. It’s tough because, oftentimes, not all of that talent can’t get used, so I’m always happy to see guys that don’t get used a lot, get used and get a chance to really show their abilities on television.”
