According to a new report from Fightful Select, Kofi Kingston re-signed with the promotion earlier this year.

Fightful's report disclosed that Kofi Kingston has signed a five-year deal with the company, keeping him in WWE until 2030.

Kofi Kingston is a part of The New Day on RAW alongside Xavier Woods. The duo lost the World Tag Team Championships to The Judgment Day earlier this year, who reached 100 days as champions today.

Grayson Waller is also aligned with The New Day on the red brand. Waller recently shared a humorous video claiming that he needed a motorized scooter to get around after being hit with a Mexican Destroyer by Penta on RAW. Big E also used to be a member of The New Day, but the faction betrayed him last year when he offered to be their manager.

Bill Apter agrees with The New Day's betrayal of Big E on WWE RAW

Wrestling legend Bill Apter revealed that he sided with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods after they turned their backs on Big E in December 2024.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, Apter noted that The New Day had a point when calling out Big E for not being there for them since suffering his broken neck in 2022.

"When we talk about Big E, they kept telling him, 'Go back to your desk job;' they were probably talking about his role as a broadcaster. But they had a really strong thing. 'If you really cared about us, where were you all these weeks? We see you on other WWE shows talking happily and all that, but you never came to us.' And I thought, 'You know what? They're right!'" Apter said.

It will be fascinating to see what the company has planned for Kofi Kingston moving forward on RAW.
