Latest on Kofi Kingston after serious injury scare on WWE RAW (Reports)

There is an update on Kofi Kingston after a serious injury scare on RAW. The New Day member took on LA Knight in a singles bout on this week's episode of RAW. Despite Xavier Woods being at ringside, Knight was able to pick up the win via a BFT.

However, during the match, there was a scary moment after Knight’s knee appeared to connect with Kingston’s head, leaving the former WWE Champion visibly jaded. There have been concerns over Kingston's well-being following the incident.

Now, Wrestling Observer's Bryan Alvarez noted that Kingston isn't listed on WWE's internal injury report, implying that he is alright.

The match between Kingston and Knight was set up after a backstage confrontation on RAW. The Megastar was demanding a World Heavyweight Title match from GM Adam Pearce, noting that he is the last person to pin Seth Rollins.

The New Day then walked in to ask Pearce for a shot at the World Tag Team Championship. A brief exchange between the heels and LA Knight followed, leading to Adam Pearce making the match between the former United States Champion and Kofi Kingston official for the show.

Kofi Kingston recently made a huge accusation against a WWE star

The New Day has been feuding with Penta on RAW in recent weeks. The duo has repeatedly called for a ban on Cero Miedo's Mexican Destroyer finisher to no avail.

Two weeks ago on RAW, Kofi Kingston faced Penta in a one-on-one match. The contest ended with another win for the luchador after he hit a Springboard Mexican Destroyer.

After the show, Kingston shared a post on Instagram, capturing what happened on RAW, and accused Penta of "trying to publicly end" his life.

The feud between the former AEW star and The New Day is ongoing, with Grayson Waller missing last night's episode after being hit with the Mexican Destroyer last week on RAW.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
