Kofi Kingston took to Twitter to issue a statement after Vince McMahon announced on SmackDown Live that he would be replaced by Kevin Owens in the WWE Championship match at WWE Fastlane.
Here is Kingston’s statement:
“I needed to take a couple days to process what has actually happened. Shock, sadness, emptiness, frustration, anger, confusion are but a few feelings on a roller coaster of emotions.
My entire career, has been a series of ups and downs, starts and stops. I really shouldn’t be surprised, but this one hurt. We came so close. And I say ‘we’ because this journey has been bigger than just me. It’s Woods’ journey, it’s E’s journey, it’s every one of you who has followed and supported my career for the past 11 years.
To have it all stripped away so suddenly is painful, to put it mildly. I appreciate you all more than you know and I thank you all for your love and support. Mark my words: We will be back. The journey does not end here.”
We won’t spoil anything here but there are bigger plans for Kingston. Click here if you want to know.
