Star wrestler Kofi Kingston has issued a heartfelt statement following his unexpected departure from WWE, reflecting on his distinguished career and expressing sincere gratitude to those who supported him.
The former WWE Champion posted on X (formerly Twitter) to thank fans, friends, and colleagues for their widespread support and affection.
“It’s taken me two full days to respond to all my texts. I hadn’t been on social media until today, and I’m overwhelmed by all the messages here too. So much love. So I can’t help but to be filled completely with gratitude. My story has been nothing short of remarkable and I am truly blessed to have had such an illustrious, accolade-laden and, most importantly, fun-filled career. I made my childhood dream become the most wonderful reality,” Kingston wrote.
He also acknowledged the special bond formed with his New Day teammates, Xavier Woods and Big E. “Most people go through life without ever experiencing a love like I have for Woods and E. That bond alone would have made this whole experience worth it,” he added.
Kingston expressed appreciation for the many individuals who influenced his career, stating, “There are far too many people to mention by name here, but to everyone who has ever supported me, guided me, helped me, taught me, cheered for me, praised me, stood up for me, and even rooted against me: Thank you. I appreciate you more than words can say.”
He concluded his message by encouraging his followers to believe in themselves and pursue their goals fearlessly. “Do your best to live a life without regrets, control what you can control, always give it your all, and fight hard for what you believe in. Do not ever compromise or accept less than your due when it comes to your worth. Find the courage to believe in yourself and fearlessly pursue your goals and dreams, because anything is possible,” he said.
Reflecting on his journey, Kingston shared, “The kid that was too small, short, skinny, and scrawny was never supposed to make it in this land of giants…yet here we are.” He ended on a hopeful note: “And so…as the sun sets on one chapter, so too must it rise in another. Tomorrow is indeed…a New Day.”
