#2 - Kofi Kingston on Roman Reigns

Kofi Kingston has heaped praise on Roman Reigns and claimed the WWE Universal Champion has taken himself to a new level. The former champion claims the potential was always visible from The Shield days, but the Tribal Chief role has been exceptional.

He told Milwaukee Radio Group's Don Black:

"Roman has taken his character to new heights. He's just so confident with himself out there and he's grown so much. You always knew when Roman was with The Shield, he was gonna be the guy. But him stepping into this Tribal Chief role, he plays it so well."

Kofi went on to praise Paul Heyman as well and claimed the advocate is the one helping Reigns elevate himself to new levels.

#1 - Kofi Kingston on The Bloodline

Kofi continued to talk about Reigns with Don Black and revealed his thoughts on The Bloodline.

"This is a powerful faction, man. It's really, really cool to see everybody come into their own, even The Usos. We've had a lot of rivalries with them and us. They are just so good, so talented, but they get better and better every time they step into the ring."

The New Day defeated both The Usos and RK-Bro in three-team action on this week's edition of Smackdown. It was a match that was billed as determining, 'The Best Tag Team in WWE Today'.

The Usos will defend their SmackDown tag-team titles against The New Day at WWE Day 1.
