5 things learned from WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston's Sportskeeda interview

#2 Kofi Kingston talks about how underrated WWE Superstar Xavier Woods truly is

After Big E won the WWE Championship recently, Xavier Woods became the only member of The New Day not to hold a World Championship during his WWE career.

This has led to a lot of discussion about when Woods will have his "moment" in the spotlight. The RAW star has openly spoken about his desire to win the King of The Ring tournament, which is rumored to return this year.

Kofi Kingston put over just how underrated Xavier Woods is both in the ring and outside of it. He admitted that The New Day wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for Xavier Woods:

"Yeah you hit the nail right on the head too. Especially going back and watching the videos, and then obviously knowing Xavier too, he'll be like 'Oh! I don't want to be World Champion.' He's very underrated number one. Incredibly underrated, I don't think people understand his wrestling mind is legit top notch. Having conversations with him and talking about matches and ideas. Top notch wrestling mind for sure. The New Day doesn't happen if Xavier Woods doesn't have the idea culminating in that big cauldron that he calls his brain," Kofi stated.

#1 Kofi Kingston reflects on Big E winning the WWE Championship

Big E successfully cashed in his Money in the Bank contract against Bobby Lashley to become the WWE Champion for the first time on Monday Night RAW two weeks ago.

Quickly after his victory, the new WWE Champion was joined by The New Day as the trio celebrated in the middle of the ring.

Kofi Kingston said that the moment still gives him goosebumps. However, he tried not to get his hopes up too much before it happened because plans can, and will, always change in professional wrestling:

"Man, it was incredible. I'm still getting goosebumbs just thinking about it. The fact that it actually happened. That's not to say that I didn't expect it to happen. But, being around for so long you kind of get accustomed to things changing, especially at the last minute so I didn't want to get my hopes up. You know something all of a sudden 'oh things have changed. We're going to go this route. We're going to do this...' So I try not to invest emotionally into anything until it actually happens because then you get upset and you're devastated and all that. But, it happened and Big E made it happen and I couldn't be happier. It's so amazing!" Kingston revealed.
