During a recent interview with Fightful to promote WWE SummerSlam, Kofi Kingston said there was legitimate heat between him and Randy Orton back in 2009 when there were rumors that Orton was trying to hold him down. He said,

“On a very legitimate level, those who have been watching the videos about our history, it’s very legitimate in the fact that he did not want me to be here to the point where he would tell people who made decisions that I shouldn’t be in the position that I was at. A lot of people asked me over the years, ‘What happened in 2009? You put Randy Orton through the table at Madison Square Garden. I thought you were going to be going up here.’ That’s where I was supposed to go. You come to find out that because of him, it didn’t go that way, not right away. It took a little awhile. Ups and downs. And now here we are 11 years later, through a stroke of luck, a touch of fate, hard work, and taking advantage of some opportunities. We didn’t really have a relationship per se, he’s not one of the guys who I would chum it up with backstage or anything like that. It was like, ‘Okay, we have a match’ and then we’re off doing our own things.”

Of course, Kofi Kingston will defend his WWE Championship against Randy Orton this Sunday night at SummerSlam.
