Kofi Kingston was on the road to WrestleMania, with his eyes on the prize, but then an injury snuck up and took the former WWE Champion out of action. Now that Kofi is on the sidelines, WWE had to replace him in a big SmackDown match, but there is a bit of good news for the New Day member.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Kofi Kingston’s injury is only expected to keep him out of the ring for about 5 weeks. This ankle injury was sustained during a flipping dive to the outside, despite the fact that he landed on “several people” who caught him.
This injury for Kofi Kingston was also said to be a “fluke deal.” So, it’s not any sign that it’s anyone’s fault, but it is one of those unexpected things that can happen in the pro wrestling ring.
We will have to see what happens with Kofi Kingston on the road to WrestleMania. He does not have a WrestleMania booking yet, but anything can change in the next several weeks.
