KOFI KINGSTON IS WWE CHAMPION!
The 11-year journey of one of professional wrestling’s hardest working, most beloved stars has finally culminated in the winning of sports entertainment’s greatest prize, on the grandest stage of them all.
Kofi Kingston, surrounded by his friends, family and fellow New Day brotherhood, defeating Daniel Bryan in a grueling, hard-fought battle Sunday night at WrestleMania, in front of more than 80,000 screaming fans packed into MetLife Stadium, to become the brand new WWE world champion.
The match was packed with emotion, as New Day helped to even the odds by taking out the monstrous Erick Rowan, while Kingston struggled to deal with the technical excellence and near-unbeatable will of the New Daniel Bryan. NEAR-unbeatable being the key.
Following the victory, a clearly emotional Xavier Woods and Big E revealed a brand new WWE Championship belt — which was really the old, non-hemp-based title with custom Kofi side plates — as Kingston celebrated in the ring with his two young children.
What's it like to have an army of 80,000+ supporters during the biggest match of your career?
