Kofi Kingston had one hell of a run in 2019 which perhaps turned out to be the most memorable year of his WWE career. After 11 years of wait, she got to compete in a WWE Championship match at the biggest event of the year also known as WrestleMania. The significant storyline also gave birth to Kofi-mania as he ended up winning the gold.

The solid title run ended in a very bad way on the opening SmackDown on FOX as Brock Lesnar defeated Kofi Kingston within just eight seconds.

This halted down the momentums of the former champion who is nowhere near to the main event picture. However, he claimed that his days are definitely not over at this point. He still has plenty of wrestling left inside him.
The latest episode of the “Feel The Power” podcast featuring SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day is now released. Kofi Kingston, Big E and injured Xavier Woods discussed their career, the latter’s Achilles injury, and what future holds for them.
Kofi Kingston Responds Never Getting A WWE Title Rematch Against Brock Lesnar
During the conversation, Kofi revealed that he recently inked a new five-year contract with WWE. He also talked about how beat up he is these days, (courtesy wrestlingINC.com)
“I’m not done, I just signed another 5-year contract. So, we got 5 years. So, who knows what my body is going to be like in those 5 years. My sons will be getting older and you talk about playing one-on-one basketball.
We were at some gym and we [The New Day] played basketball with The Usos, it wasn’t even a full-court game, it was half-court, 2 on 2, it took like 45 minutes to get to 7. We had to work that night and I’m just like, my hip, my lower back, I retired on the spot.
I said that’s the last game of basketball I’ll ever play because I physically cannot do this. And it’s scary, man, because there were days when I was younger and would play full-court basketball all day long, all summer long.
And I would be fine. I can’t even get to a game of 7 in 2-on-2 on a basketball court, and I’m a professional athlete, and I can’t do it.”
Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why WWE is keeping Kofi Kingston away from the main event picture, at this point. His beaten-up body would not be able to handle the pressure of competing in single matches, for now.
Until his body is healed, he will be in the tag title picture. WWE TLC witnessed Kofi and Big E retain their titles over The Revival in a Ladder Match.
