Kofi Kingston is actually injured, but he’s given positive news about his recovery progress. Still, Kingston has a ways to go before he’s cleared from his ankle injury.
It was back in March, that during an edition of SmackDown, Kingston was a part of a segment in which he, Woods, Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, LA Knight, and Karrion Kross all tried to make their case for challenging Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 39.
During the segment, a brawl broke out between all of them. At one point, McIntyre dove over the top rope and landed on Kingston. It was here that Kingston sustained an injury to his ankle. Since then, Kingston has been unable to wrestle in the ring. In his final match before getting injured, he was successful in a match against LA Knight on SmackDown. Kingston did undergo surgery for his injured ankle, but there’s no timetable yet as to when he will be back teaming alongside Woods. While Kingston has been dealing with this ankle injury and Big E has also been dealing with a neck injury.
