'He did knock me out': Rey Mysterio breaks silence after heartbreaking loss against former WWE Champion in King of the Ring tournament

I didn’t think my day would be as hard as it was today. So, I tip my mask off to Kofi. He caught me right across the neck and jaw and he did knock me out for six, seven seconds. So, congratulations Kofi. Hope you can do it all over again. Rey Mysterio via Instagram

Moreover, Rey Mysterio also expressed high hopes to see the New Day member succeed in the further stages of the King of the Ring tournament. It was a monumental victory for the multiple-time Tag Team Champion. Therefore, now he has huge expectations for the next round, where he will face the former Intercontinental Champion, Gunther who recently defeated Sheamus.

Moreover, it was the first-ever singles encounter between two of the greatest WWE talents of all time. Kofi and Rey had a wholesome interaction as well after their match.
