WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston has discussed what Survivor Series means to him during a recent interview appearance.
Survivor Series has been the WWE's annual November event since 1987, often taking place around the time of Thanksgiving. It is known for its iconic 5-on-5 elimination tag team matches, pitting teams of feuding Superstars against each other in temporary faction-type groups. Over the last few years, the event has seen RAW and SmackDown compete for brand supremacy. However, this is set to change when the 2022 edition of the show rolls into Boston next month.

During a recent interview with WrestleRant on behalf of Bleacher Report, former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston was asked about Survivor Series' return to Boston's TD Garden. This led Kingston, who grew up nearby, to discuss the significance of the November event returning to the city. He described a Survivor Series match in which he was the sole survivor. This night was significant to Kingston, as it was the first time his family saw him perform live.
"I remember the first time that my family came to see me live on the main roster was Survivor Series, and I ended up being the sole survivor," he said. [7:01 - 7:13]
