Kofi Kingston is on his way to a return to the ring.
Kingston has been out of action for some time now after undergoing ankle surgery on March 17th. During a recent appearance on the Battleground Podcast, Kingston provided an update on his road to recovery.
“I’m actually in Orlando right now doing some Rehab on my ankle. I had ankle surgery to remove a bone chip and fix a ligament after the mass of Scottish Behemoth of a man, Drew McIntyre, landed on my leg. My body went east, my leg went west, and my ankle was completely sprained,” recalled Kingston. “They took out some bone chips and fixed the ligament, and now I’m on the mend, somewhere in between a robot and a zombie. I’m working my way back to the fold. So, it’s all good. Life is grand.”
“It will be 12 weeks on Friday, 12 weeks post-op. I’m doing really well,” Kofi added. “I actually had the same surgery on the same ankle about six years ago to have some bone chips removed. I feel like this time around, I know what to expect, and I’ve been ahead of schedule for the most part. I’m really able to do a lot of normal people things and live a normal life. So now it’s just a matter of trying to go to the next level and do WWE Superstar things. You know what I mean, in-ring things like that. So I’ve been in Orlando for the past week, just kind of seeing where I’m at, and things are looking pretty good. So hopefully, sooner than later, you’ll see me in the ring.”

Kingston was drafted to Monday Night RAW in the WWE Draft alongside his New Day stable mate Xavier Woods. We will have to wait and see what happens next for the former WWE Champion but it is apparent fans will not have long to wait until Kingston is back in a WWE ring.
