Royal Rumble Sensations Kofi Kingston and Naomi Make Their WWE Returns
Follow Us
For the past decade (or more), Kofi Kingston has become synonymous with WWE Royal Rumble. Although the former WWE Champion never won the infamous Battle Royale, his tactics and amazing acrobatic skills have entertained the fans.
However, this year was different. As Kofi himself revealed, he suffered a jaw injury on Raw a couple of weeks before Royal Rumble. He also got some of his teeth broken when he lost the tag team titles to Hurt Business at WWE TLC.
As fans got worried and wondered if Kingston’s Rumble appearance streak will be broken, he appeared out of nowhere. In a backstage segment with Sami Zayn, Xavier Woods, and the Intercontinental Champion, Big E got into a verbal disagreement.

Zayn said he was seeing through all of WWE’s conspiracies and said, “I see EVERYTHING! I have eyes at the back of my head!” Kofi appeared then and there, startling Zayn.

Sadly, Kingston was not medically cleared for the Royal Rumble match later in the night. But he came down to the ring to show support for his New Day brothers, who paid tribute to the late great Jon “Luke Harper” Huber with their ring gears.

Kofi then gave a speech about brotherhood and the unity of New Day, despite being on different brands. The New Day ended the segment by reiterating that when one member of the stable wins the Rumble, all of them will win.
