Kofi Kingston knows what it’s like to be WWE Champion as he went on a wild journey in 2019 as he became a main event star that was capped off with winning the WWE Title from Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35.
Kingston dropped the title to Brock Lesnar on the October 4, 2019, episode of SmackDown on FOX.
While appearing on the Battleground Podcast, Kingston noted he thinks his good friend, Xavier Woods, will be WWE World Heavyweight Champion one day.
“It's coming. You know, it's coming. It's just a matter of time. I've been out now for almost 12 weeks and Woods has been doing his thing as a singles competitor. I don't think a lot of people realize how talented he is. He's just out there proving it every single week, you know, it's just a matter of time. But what he did do. I don't know if you watched the Up, Up, Down, Down livestream that we had schools outs was the theme. And Woods and Mids have been having a rivalry back and forth playing video games. Anytime Woods beats Miz, Miz puts one of his replica titles on the line. So Woods just beat Miz for his WWE Championship. Exactly. Yeah. If this is what we like to call foreshadowing, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's just a matter, it's just a matter of time, you know?”
In this same interview, Kingston provided an update on his recovery from injury and talked about The New Day taking an oath to never split up.
