Even though he said they will bounce back, staying true to their Tag Team name – The New Day, it does not seem like an immediate action. His walk revealed that he will need ample rest to recover.

It was during this match that Kingston’s ankle took a bad landing.
This is the second time Kofi Kingston and Shelton Benjamin have been in singles matches against each other. Previously, during the 2008 edition of ECW, both of them had their first televised singles match.
Kingston’s loss at the hands of Cedric Alexander
Coming back to Monday Night Raw, even though he won that match, Cedric Alexander called him back inside the ring soon afterwards for a second match. This time, Cedric Alexander’s entire focus was on the injured leg.

Now, since this match was immediately after the previous one, Kingston was still hurting from his injury. He hurt his leg a second time when he jumped off the rope, but missed.
Alexander ended up winning the match via pinfall using a Lumbar Check.
