Kofi Kingston Talks About Last Year’s Short WWE Royal Rumble Stint
Kofi Kingston has some incredible highlights from his time in the Royal Rumble. But last year’s Rumble match is probably one Kingston would rather forget.
In last year’s match, Kofi attempted another one of his highlight-reel saves from elimination but it didn’t go quite as planned. Kingston was knocked to the outside and tried to save himself by catching on to the barrier. Unfortunately, both of his feet hit the floor and he was eliminated. The New Day veteran spoke about the spot in a recent interview with Fightful.
Kofi said, “When you go back and look at the stats sometimes, people will say, ‘Okay, this person was in for this amount of time,’ I think that was the shortest amount of time that I’d been in any Rumble. Of course, it was the shortest duration of a superstar in last year’s Rumble, too. It was definitely supposed to be longer than that. I don’t know how long it was supposed to be, but it was supposed to be longer than that. I’ve talked about it where I feel like we have our biggest growth when we fail, right? When we don’t do what we intended to do when we set a goal and we try to accomplish it and we don’t accomplish it. That is where real growth happens. So part of me was kind of excited for the growth, to be able to experience that. It’s a situation where I’ve been doing these Royal Rumble elimination spots for a long time. I’m surprised none of them have messed up to this point. I think it just adds to the element of realism to what we do and it reinforces, yeah, we go out there every week and things go off without a hitch, but sometimes they don’t. That’s just the reality of what we do and what we do is not easy. It is actually quite difficult. Sometimes everything has to be 100% accurate. If one thing is off then everything will be off. Yeah, man. It’s all good, it’s all good. Hopefully this year will be different. It can’t be worse.”
