WWE Royal Rumble: Kofi Kingston comments on risky botched elimination spot

Kofi Kingston has commented on his unfortunate botched elimination from the 2022 men’s WWE Royal Rumble.

Kofi Kingston is known for his impressive elimination saves, almost making his career on missing ways of keeping himself in the Royal Rumble match.

However, things didn’t go to plan for Kofi in the match last weekend, as he was eliminated before he was supposed to when one of his spots went wrong.

Kofi was pushed off the top rope by Kevin Owens just 21 seconds after entering the men’s Rumble match, but this wasn’t supposed to happen.

Kofi was supposed to land on the barricade and get back into the ring, but the cameras caught the former WWE Champion’s feet hitting the floor.

WWE could have easily just pretended like it didn’t happen and inserted Kofi back into the match, but the decision was made to honour the botch and have him eliminated.

Taking to Instagram, which you can find the full post of by clicking here, Kingston has spoken about what went wrong.

Below is the entirety of the caption of Kingston’s latest Instagram post, where he opened up about the botch, explaining that he regrets nothing and wouldn’t change a thing.

Kofi explained that while the risk for the spot was high, so was the reward, and he wanted to try and pull off a spot that many people would have deemed to be impossible.

The past couple days on social media, I’ve gotten a lot of “Why would you think that was even possible?” and “Why would you even try that?” The answer to that question is quite easy: because of the potential reward. What if you were to succeed in overcoming what is deemed “impossible”?

The sense of accomplishment felt when you beat the odds and brazenly defy the probabilities is purely ecstatic. Peoples questions then morph
