Kofi Kingston talks Royal Rumble, King Woods, WWE SmackDown on FOX in Miami and more

WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston of The New Day will be in Miami on Friday, March 4 when WWE SmackDown live on FOX emanates from the FTX Arena (formerly American Airlines Arena, a WWE South Florida staple).

Kingston, 40, is a former seven-time WWE SmackDown tag team champion, six-time WWE Raw tag team champion, a four-time WWE Intercontinental champion, a 3-time U.S. champion, 2-time Slammy Award winner, a World tag team champion, a WWE champion and a champion person.

He is also a former UpUpDownDown Video Game world champion. Quite the resume, and there’s more.

Kingston is the guru of agility and balance, entertaining the masses with his maneuvers and aerial style.

At this year’s Royal Rumble, he took a leap of faith, but this time came up short, a rarity for the sports entertainer, but it can happen.

Kingston discusses his daring attempt at the Royal Rumble and how he bounced back from it through positivity. He also talks King Xavier Woods, Big E, UpUpDownDown, SmackDown roster, Miami, pancakes and more.
