On tonight's episode of RAW, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods lost their World Tag Team Championship to The Judgment Day's Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh. Thus, their title reign ended at 72 days.
Wrestling Stats & Info on X/Twitter has now shared an interesting stat involving Kofi Kingston. The WWE Superstar was a week away from creating an insane record.
"@TrueKofi was 1 week away from becoming the first Superstar to hold a @WWE tag title for FOUR total/cumulative years. It’s never been reached before, and now it won’t be reached on July 7th. Think he’s got one more reign in him to hit this milestone?"
Kingston is one of the most decorated wrestlers in World Wrestling Entertainment history. He has been with the Stamford-based company since 2006 and has won the tag team titles a whopping 16 times! Kingston and Xavier Woods turned heel on Big E a while ago, but their run as bad guys has been a massive disappointment so far, under the Triple H regime.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
