According to Dave Meltzer, WWE wrestler Kofi Kingston has suffered a leg injury. The details of the injury are unknown at this time. The injury is reported to have taken place during Friday’s episode of SmackDown, as noted by Bryan Alvarez.
During the episode, Kingston and Xavier Woods were involved in a brawl with Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Karrion Kross, and LA Knight. The brawl was over who would get the next Intercontinental title shot against Gunther. As a result of the brawl, a fatal five-way match was announced for next week’s SmackDown, with Kingston, Sheamus, McIntyre, Knight, and Cross all scheduled to compete. The winner of the match will face Gunther for the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles on April 1 and 2.
Kingston and Woods had most recently held the NXT Tag Team titles, and after losing the titles, they have been reappearing on SmackDown. Kingston confronted LA Knight on last week’s show and pinned him during the match.
The extent of Kingston’s injury is unclear, and it remains to be seen how it will affect his future matches. Fans will have to wait for further updates to learn more about Kingston’s condition and the impact on his career.
