WWE has witnessed some amazing talents emerge in the last two decades. Many of them have gone on to bigger things outside WWE as well. However, some stars have remained a staple of the company since their debut and have performed at the highest level regardless of their position on the card.

The likes of Dolph Ziggler and The Miz are just some of the names that fill that criterion. Another name that pops up in this discussion and who has been a reliable performer for most of his career is Kofi Kingston.

Kingston debuted in WWE’s version of  ECW in 2009 and has been with the company ever since. During this time he has won every championship he has competed for and is still going strong. Recently, the New Day member took to Twitter to mark his run of 15 years in WWE.
