Former WWE Champion & member of The New Day Kofi Kingston joins NY Post Pro-Wrestling Columnist Josheph Staszewski to discuss the secret to the longevity of The New Day.
The New Day will get its flowers after 10 years as one of the most successful and entertaining factions in WWE history. The company plans to celebrate the faction of Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E in the coming weeks during “Monday Night Raw” on USA Network. Before the big day, The Post’s Joseph Staszewski caught up with Kingston for some Q&A:Q: Some things in wrestling don’t last 10 weeks or 10 months.
A: Actually, like to be friends. You know, a lot of tag teams get thrown together where they’re like one person from this background and that background, and you guys look like you might be interested in the same thing, and now we’re gonna put you together, and you don’t have real chemistry. All of us, we really strive to push our brothers, to lift our brothers up. That’s what The New Day is all about. It’s all about brotherhood. And we really believe that to our core.
Winning the WWE championship was my childhood dream. And if I don’t come across E and Woods, if we don’t cross paths and do what we do then that doesn’t happen. Big E becoming WWE champion, if we’re all not in sync, lockstep together, building ourselves and being entertaining, that doesn’t happen. Woods, becoming King of the Ring, that’s his lifelong dream.
You always come together at the family cookout, get-together, right? Because you’re family, right? Like, that’s really what it’s all about. But it’s been, it’s, you know, it’s been a little bit trying over the past couple years, trying to be successful and win championships, but at the same time, I think it’s a huge success that we have been able to even stay on TV and in a relevant way, you know, and still have an impact on people.
And throughout the entire process, he has been positive about it. He has taken it one day at a time. He’s built his strength back. He’s out there. He says sometimes he forgets that he was even injured at all, so that, like, really is a testament to how far he’s come, and to see how he’s dealt with it, and to never see him be down about it, to always be positive about it, to always think about how he’s gonna get better each and every day.
