Kingston is currently a member of the Monday Night RAW brand, alongside his fellow New Day partners, Xavier Woods and current WWE Champion Big E.

This past Monday, The New Day faced off against Friday Night SmackDown’s Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Tag Team Champions The Usos in a six-man tag team match.

After some interference from Bobby Lashley, Reigns was able to get the victory for The Bloodline.

Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Rick Ucchino recently sat down with Kofi Kingston and interviewed the WWE Superstar. A variety of topics were discussed, including a preview of the huge 6-man tag team match that took place on Monday, as well as addressing Big E’s WWE Championship victory, The New Day, and much more.

Let’s take a closer look at five things we learned from WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston’s Sportskeeda interview.

#5 Kofi Kingston discusses Roman Reigns’ WWE Universal Championship reign so far

Arguably the biggest talking point throughout the ThunderDome era of WWE programming was Roman Reigns’ heel turn and character change.

After a brief hiatus from the company, Reigns returned at SummerSlam 2020 and subsequently turned heel, aligning himself with Paul Heyman.

The Tribal Chief quickly recaptured the Universal Championship and has held the title for over one full year.

Kofi Kingston stated that he feels like Roman has grown immensely since they shared the ring previously, and that the Universal Champion has found his true persona:

#4 Kofi Kingston comments on WWE Champion Big E now having a bullseye on his back as champion

WWE Champion Big E has switched from SmackDown to RAW after winning the title last week.

This meant reuniting with his New Day partners Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. Ahead of the New Day’s epic six-man tag team match against The Bloodline this past Monday, Kofi Kingston was asked about multiple names such as Finn Balor, Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley, that could interfere in the match.

Kingston admitted that Big E would now have many people vying for his WWE Championship, but with The New Day reunited on RAW, they will have each other’s back:

#3 Kofi Kingston shared how The New Day comes up with ideas for their ring gear to wear on WWE television

The New Day is known for wearing some of the best ring gear in all of WWE on a regular basis.

Past New Day gears have included cosplaying as Dragon Ball Z, Power Rangers, and recently The Outsiders on WWE Monday Night RAW.

When asked about how they come up with ideas for their gear, Kofi Kingston stated that The New Day takes their gear very, very seriously:

#2 Kofi Kingston talks about how underrated WWE Superstar Xavier Woods truly is

After Big E won the WWE Championship recently, Xavier Woods became the only member of The New Day not to hold a World Championship during his WWE career.

This has led to a lot of discussion about when Woods will have his “moment” in the spotlight. The RAW star has openly spoken about his desire to win the King of The Ring tournament, which is rumored to return this year.

Kofi Kingston put over just how underrated Xavier Woods is both in the ring and outside of it. He admitted that The New Day wouldn’t even exist if it wasn’t for Xavier Woods:

#1 Kofi Kingston reflects on Big E winning the WWE Championship

Big E successfully cashed in his Money in the Bank contract against Bobby Lashley to become the WWE Champion for the first time on Monday Night RAW two weeks ago.

Quickly after his victory, the new WWE Champion was joined by The New Day as the trio celebrated in the middle of the ring.

Kofi Kingston said that the moment still gives him goosebumps. However, he tried not to get his hopes up too much before it happened because plans can, and will, always change in professional wrestling:
