Kofi Kingston has been with the WWE for a long, long time. When he made his debut, he was packaged as being from Jamaica, complete with a Bob Marley-esque accent.

However, that was not meant to last. Kofi's mother is the president of the Ghanian-American appreciation society, and she was not happy that her son, born in East Ghana, was portraying a man of a different nationality.

Kofi subtly changed his hometown to Ghana, and dropped the accent during a segment with Triple H, which prompted the Game to ask "Aren't you supposed to be Jamaican?"

Chances of joining All Elite Wrestling: 80-20. Kofi is a record holder for having the most total days as Tag Team champion in the WWE and has held the Intercontinental title as well. However, he has some enemies in the locker room.

Randy Orton still holds a grudge because Kofi botched during one of their matches live on Raw, and Vince McMahon isn't happy he wanted to drop the Jamaican gimmick in favour of his true heritage. Kofi has probably accomplished all he can in the WWE, and it might be time for a change of scenery.
