Kofi Kingston lashes out at WWE over his mother

The latest edition of WWE RAW was a taped episode from Boston, which is the city Kofi Kingston's family settled in after moving from Ghana in 1982. Kingston's mother was ringside for the double taping with other relatives. After WWE poked at a sensitive situation, Kofi is now lashing out over what happened with his family.

The star and Xavier Woods have turned up the heel heat since insulting longtime associate Big E weeks back, essentially booting the injured superstar from The New Day. The live RAW on December 16 from Boston saw Rey Mysterio eject The New Day from the locker room due to their actions.

Woods and Kingston came to the ring on this week's taped RAW to continue taunting Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore for being biased. The New Day entered the ring and took a shot at Big E before Kingston knocked fans for ruining his homecoming, and his mother's experience. The 43-year-old apologized to his mother at ringside, but she refused his request for a hug, and he seemed hurt as she walked away.

WWE's official Instagram account shared a clip of The New Day and Kingston's mother at RAW and captioned it with a blurb about how even she is disappointed with the former tag team champions. The former WWE Champion responded in the comments section, lashing out at the company for tagging him in the post as a collaborator or co-author. Xavier was also tagged, but he still hasn't removed himself as Kofi did.

"Why tf would you ask me to be collaborator on this??? Take this DOWN!" Kofi Kingston wrote in the comments.

RAW later featured a backstage segment with Mysterio admitting he should've dealt with The New Day in a better way last week. Rey then suggested Kofi and Xavier apologize, but they refused and didn't think they did anything wrong.

Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods set for WWE RAW

The New Day is moving forward without Big E after recent controversial heel turns by Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. The duo will now continue their new bad-guy acts on the final RAW of 2024 on December 30 at the Toyota Center in Houston.

Officials have not confirmed a match for Kofi and Xavier on RAW, but they are expected to lock up against Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee of The LWO in the near future. The New Day's last match was a loss to Alpha Academy on November 25, which came three weeks after a loss to The War Raiders, before Erik and Ivar became World Tag Team Champions.

The New Day and The LWO have shared the ring just once in their careers. The October 28 RAW saw Erik and Ivar defeat Mysterio and Lee, as well as Kingston and Woods, in a number one contender's tournament finals.
