During the latest edition of WWE RAW, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods teamed up with Jey Uso to face Imperium in the opening match of the show. This match was very exciting, and both teams looked even at several points in the contest. Hence, it was difficult to predict a winner.
However, towards the end, The New Day and Jey Uso were able to register a win. While the match had several good moments that were worthy of discussion, fans on social media were left discussing something that was not related or important.
During the match, Kofi Kingston was wrestling while wearing the Jordan 1 Travis Scott Mocha sneakers. The average aftermarket value of this sneaker is $1500. Since this detail became public knowledge, fans on social media were left divided. While some experienced their shock, others were unbothered.

However, The New Day member did not go home empty-handed. If anything, he earned the respect of The Ring General. Taking to Instagram, Gunther praised Kingston for putting up a brilliant challenge. However, he also added that he will always be the reigning Intercontinental Champion.
"Listen to this. Kofi fought hard. Kofi fought with courage. The only issue is nobody is perfect, but I'm d**n close. I will forever be the greatest and the longest reigning Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion of all time," Gunther said.
