5 things learned from WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston's Sportskeeda interview

#4 Kofi Kingston comments on WWE Champion Big E now having a bullseye on his back as champion

WWE Champion Big E has switched from SmackDown to RAW after winning the title last week.

This meant reuniting with his New Day partners Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. Ahead of the New Day's epic six-man tag team match against The Bloodline this past Monday, Kofi Kingston was asked about multiple names such as Finn Balor, Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley, that could interfere in the match.

Kingston admitted that Big E would now have many people vying for his WWE Championship, but with The New Day reunited on RAW, they will have each other's back:

"That's what I'm saying man, that you never know. I think the best part about WWE is when all the different stories really start to interconnect in a meaningful way. Like man, trust me I know how quickly a championship reign can end. Bobby experienced it. It's just like that. All of a sudden now we're off to the next thing. I know like you said man, Bobby and MVP, it's not going to sit well with them. So we've got to keep our heads on a swivel at all times. Luckily now Big E is on RAW at least more frequently now and he has us to kind of watch his back too. I think there's going to be a lot of people gunning for him," Kofi said.

#3 Kofi Kingston shared how The New Day comes up with ideas for their ring gear to wear on WWE television

The New Day is known for wearing some of the best ring gear in all of WWE on a regular basis.

Past New Day gears have included cosplaying as Dragon Ball Z, Power Rangers, and recently The Outsiders on WWE Monday Night RAW.

When asked about how they come up with ideas for their gear, Kofi Kingston stated that The New Day takes their gear very, very seriously:

"Yeah, we take our gear very seriously. I don't think anyone on the roster takes their gear as seriously as us. I've always been a gear guy. If you go back and look at all my older, old-school Kofi Kingston logo enfused with Batman or The Joker or The Riddler of whatever it may be. And then you go and look at Woods' stuff, he's done a lot of crazy stuff. He's a cosplayer, a professional cosplayer if I may say so. He takes his gear very seriously too. So when we started to get together and we started going back and forth with gear ideas, boy is something special, something dangerous boy!" Kingston recalled.
