WWE Champion Kofi Kingston is making the media rounds to promote the upcoming WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view event.
In an interview with the Ottawa Sun, Kingston opened up on where his mindset was at before the creation of The New Day. This is where he admitted that without Xavier Woods and Big E, he wouldn’t be in WWE.
“It’s always fun and laughs. Woods and E, without them I wouldn’t be here. When they approached me about being in the New Day, I didn’t even know if I wanted to keep wrestling because I was doing the same thing over and over.”
Kingston recalled that he was someone who was going out and having good matches with some cool moves but would most likely lose.
He thought it became monotonous. That changed once Big E and Woods approached him with the idea as they weren’t happy with their positions in the company.
Kingston recalled people telling them that they sucked and rejected them but later embraced them. He would add that some people think they are one of the greatest factions of all-time and how they are WWE and SmackDown Tag Team Champions so their mission was accomplished.
Kingston defends the WWE Title against Randy Orton at SummerSlam. As of this writing, Woods and Big E do not have a match booked.
