Thankfully, Kingston didn't move forward with this thought. Big E and Xavier Woods, who were just as unhappy with their positions in the company, wanted to do something to break out.
Big E and Woods pitched Kingston an idea to form a faction named The New Day. Kingston was initially skeptical of this idea, but after some convincing from Big E and Woods, he agreed to join forces with them. The New Day saved Kingston's career, as he has reached new heights alongside his stablemates.
Kingston definitely made the right decision when he opted to continue his wrestling career. Just a few years later, Kingston became the first African-born WWE Champion.
