Kofi Kingston was recently a guest on CBS Sports’ State of Combat podcast where he discussed his New Day partner Big E and the possibility of him becoming a WWE Champion someday.
The topic that was brought up centered around Kofi’s recent singles push. Many fans are wondering if Big E is the next member of New Day in line for a singles push and Kofi recently revealed that Big E is supportive of the idea. Kofi said, “I think that when you talk to E, he’s very modest about it. He says he just shows up to work and does what he’s supposed to do.”
Kofi continued, “I think we all know, and we wouldn’t be having this conversation if we didn’t know E’s potential to be able to carry the load. He’s phenomenal on the mic, he’s funny, he can be intense, he’s well-spoken. He’s just an all-around good dude. I think it’s just a matter of time. When the time is right, he will definitely be somebody that can take the bull by the horns and lead the charge.”
Kofi is also supportive of this idea and stated that he would love to be there for Big E just like it was the other way around earlier this year. “We’ll see, we’ll see what happens as time goes on but, yeah, E is definitely a guy that is more than capable of being the face of the company and lead. Myself and Woods will be right there beside him, supporting him the whole time and holding him up. That has always been the philosophy of our group, always to push our brothers to the top. We’ll see what happens, we never know.”
