WWE RAW: 5 Biggest news stories - Shayna Baszler gets spooked, major stakes for Drew McIntyre revealed (June 7, 2021)

#1 WWE surprisingly teased a heel turn for Kofi Kingston

"Watching you celebrate at #KofiMania, I get goosebumps to this day talking about it. Seeing you with your sons in that ring, that's what triggered me to want to come back here because finally @WWE had a champion that I could relate to and be proud of!" - @The305MVP #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/AVNVHlNVsd

This week on WWE RAW, MVP and Kofi Kingston had an excellent backstage interaction with each other.

During the segment, MVP spoke about how proud he was of Kingston in 2019 when the latter became the WWE Champion at WrestleMania. Back then, Kingston's world title win meant a lot more than just another new champion being crowned. It encapsulated his years of struggle that eventually paid off in the best way possible.

However, KofiMania abruptly ended later that year. Last week, when Kofi Kingston fought Drew McIntyre, MVP thought The New Day member could re-create his 2019 stint in WWE.

But when the former WWE Champion shook McIntyre's hand after being defeated, MVP believed that Kingston had become comfortable in losing matches. His comments lit a fire under Kofi Kingston, who went on to defeat Riddle in singles action later in the night.

"#KofiMania was everything...then it abruptly ended. Last week I caught a glimpse of that @TrueKofi that could once again become #WWEChampion. Then I saw you shake @DMcIntyreWWE's hand and you became comfortable being a loser! #KofiMania ended because YOU let it."#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/Hf8dRVDHbS

Could Kofi Kingston possibly join The Hurt Business in the long run? A heel turn from a member of one of the most popular babyface teams would be a significant moment in modern-day WWE.

MVP and Kofi Kingston's backstage interaction from this week's RAW has gone viral among wrestling fans on social media. As a result, it would be a missed opportunity for WWE if they don't follow up on this segment.
