#2 Kofi Kingston on 'the worst pain' he has felt in-ring

The Smackdown Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston spoke about one of his worst moments inside the ring when he was hit with a steel chair by Rowan during a gauntlet match.

The former WWE Champion was part of a gauntlet match before last year's Elimination Chamber match where one of the competitors he faced was Rowan. Here is what Kofi Kingston stated:

“Rowan hit me so hard, and immediately like my eyes are welling up with tears. I’m just like, oh, and I’m like, I’m almost about to cry. And I’m like, you know what, it’s probably okay if I shed tears because that really really really hurt. They’ll [the fans] understand that hurt so badly.

And I’m just sitting there, I’m like, maybe not. It’s probably not the best idea. Maybe, I’ll hold these ones in. If I let myself go I would have been boo-hooing in front of the world.” (H/T: SeScoops)

Kofi Kingston had not only entered last year's Elimination Chamber match but it also set him up for a shot at Daniel Bryan's WWE Championship at WrestleMania - which the New Day member managed to win at the grand show.
