5 longtime WWE superstars who should look for a new home in ROH

#4 Kofi Kingston

Kingston seems to have it all, and ROH could be the perfect place for him

One man who always seemed destined for big things in WWE was Kofi Kingston. There is absolutely no doubting that he has developed into a very well-rounded performer with an impressive resume, being a 4x Intercontinental Champion, 3x United States Champion and holding the record for most cumulative days as Tag Team champion.

However, as a singles competitor, he’s never really had any real momentum behind him aside from a brief period during his 2009 feud with Randy Orton. Ultimately this momentum fizzled out, and from that point, he was effectively finished as a credible singles competitor.

His reputation has improved significantly since then, mainly thanks to his exploits with The New Day, but a switch to ROH could totally transform Kingston’s career for the better. Finally, at the age of 35, it may be a chance for Kofi to step into the main event spotlight on his own. His athleticism and in-ring skills are still at an incredibly high level, which would ensure a good reception from the notoriously hard to please ROH fans.

New Day are clearly well past their best, and with Kingston unlikely to break out again as a singles star in WWE, moving to ROH could finally gain him the recognition he deserves as a world-class professional wrestler.
