Kofi Kingston was set to face Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at WWE Fastlan. On this week’s Smackdwown Live, he was replaced by Kevin Owens and that ruined plans for him.
Vince McMahon saw Kevin Owens as a bigger draw than Kofi. Kofi was largely silent on this matter, but he finally broke his silence by releasing an emotional statement.
“I needed to take a couple days to process what has actually happened. Shock, sadness, emptiness, frustration, anger, confusion are but a few feelings on a roller coaster of emotions.
My entire career, has been a series of ups and downs, starts and stops. I really shouldn’t be surprised, but this one hurt. We came so close. And I say ‘we’ because this journey has been bigger than just me. It’s Woods’ journey, it’s E’s journey, it’s every one of you who has followed and supported my career for the past 11 years.
To have it all stripped away so suddenly is painful, to put it mildly. I appreciate you all more than you know and I thank you all for your love and support. Mark my words: We will be back. The journey does not end here.”
This could be a blessing in disguise since Kofi might be getting a WWE Title shot at Wrestlemania. We will have to wait and see what happens.
