WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston lost his WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar in a matter of seconds. The disappointing end to his wonderful title reign didn’t go down well with the fans who were curious to see Kingston react to this loss.

In an interview with talkSPORT’s Alex McCarthy, Kingston finally opened up on his quick loss to the ‘Beast Incarnate’ and talked about his approach to the job. He also revealed that Vince McMahon was positive about the future of New Day which helped them claw their way to the top.

Speaking about his match against the ‘Beast Incarnate’, Kingston said,

“For me especially and anyone in this position as a WWE performer, I think we want to be the best and put on the best product we can and, yeah, it was a bit of a disappointment to go out there and have it go so quickly on the biggest night of SmackDown. “
“You know, we’ve been talking about this deal with FOX and I’ve been lucky to have been at the forefront of it all since the beginning. So, to have it end like that was a little bit disheartening but it is what it is what it is, it’s not like I can really do anything about it!”
“You show up to work one day and it’s like ‘this is what’s going to happen and it’s like ‘OK’. This is our job.”

It all started with an F-bomb...

Jon Moxley, then known as Dean Ambrose, had an unceremonious exit from WWE earlier this year. In a recent interview with Jim Ross, he went on to reveal the incident that prompted him to think about leaving the promotion for the very first time.

Ambrose had just defended his title and absent-mindedly said 'Give me my f**king belt’ to the referee on TV which ended up creating a ruckus backstage. Discussing the entire story, Moxley revealed,

“I go to the back and everyone is acting a little weird. I sensed some weird energy. I remember Road Dogg coming up to me and asking 'Did you just say f**k out there?' I said 'No, I didn't cut a promo.' He goes 'No, in the ring?' I'm like 'No, I don't think so.' He goes 'Oh' and walks away. I didn't think anything of it.”
"The next day, somebody comes up to me, I won't drop any names, but a higher-up type comes up to me and tells me he wanted me to go to the production truck and apologize to those in the truck, because they had to press a button for a five-second delay because, you know, that's so hard.”
"So I go to the truck, and they make me watch it. I had to sit down, like I'm being punished. They put it on and I was thinking I probably didn't say it. And then I was like 'Oh, I really did say it.' I'm admitting that I was at fault and I was apologizing to them as to what I thought was a sincere and perfect apology.”

However, his apology didn’t go down very well with the production crew.

“Looking back years later, I must've came off as a dick. I didn't mean to. But, I must have. I think that was a pivotal moment where they were like f**k this guy. That's how they looked at me, however, they saw me, and that's how they still probably look at me to this day”, he concluded.
