Kofi Kingston thinks the future of WWE is bright thanks to the talent in NXT. He singled out Sol Ruca for praise, calling the Superstar a “super athlete.” Ruca is known for her incredible finishing move, the “Sol Snatcher.”
Kofi was a recent guest on the Out of Character with Ryan Satin podcast, where he gave praise to Sol Ruca, and spoke about his optimism for WWE’s future.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Sol Ruca’s athleticism: “Oh my god, she’s a super athlete. Some of the videos she posts on social media, like her doing pistol squats on a balance bar… If I tried to do a pistol squat right now, my knee would laugh at me, explode, and disappear. I can’t do that. It’ll be like Avengers, you know I’m saying, where Thanos snapped his fingers. I’m out of here man, I can’t do that. She surfs too, right? Just a super athlete, man. Even her finishing move where she does the inverted up and over into the cutter… what the? How? How, dude? How do you even have the guts to try that in front of a live crowd and nail it every single time?”
The future looking bright for WWE: “Like I said man, the future is bright for WWE because these guys and girls in NXT are amazing. The raw athleticism is great, and it’s only gonna get better with experience in the ring and matches and promos and all of that stuff, so when it’s all said and done, Sol, among others, everyone’s gonna be just awesome. It’s gonna be such a great product to watch.”
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods will defend the NXT Tag Team Championships this Saturday at the NXT: Vengeance Day special. They will face Chase U, Pretty Deadly, and Gallus in a four-way match. Vengeance Day will air live on Peacock at 8:00 PM EST in the United States, and on the WWE Network internationally.
