Kofi is now stomping his way to glory with his New Day buddies

The Ghanian is not a surprise in this list. Kofi moved to the US with his family when he was just a toddler but he still holds the Ghana birth certificate high above his head.

The amount of WWE wrestlers past and present from Africa wouldn’t be enough to write on a ripping from a notebook. Nevertheless, the fact that Kofi is a representation in the WWE is nothing short of progression.

Kofi has been nothing short of the go-to guy for the WWE. He has a bouncy personality in the ring, but he also doesn't mind taking on the responsibility of being the face of the mid-card. He’s held titles, he’s been a jobber, and even dabbled with the main event, but no matter the ups and downs he has in his storylines, it seems unlikely that it phases him.

An athlete in his own right and a sure-fire future Hall of Famer, the West African will surely continue to create magical memories for WWE fans. Although he is the only African in the current roster, I wonder, who could possibly be next?
