IMPACT Wrestling’s Mickie James returning at the Royal Rumble has Kofi Kingston excited about what could happen next.
Kofi Kingston recently sat down with Rick Ucchino of the Bleav in Pro Wrestling podcast to discuss all things WWE. When asked about the surprise reveal that IMPACT Knockouts Champion Mickie James would be taking part in this year’s Royal Rumble match, Kingston said it’s really exciting because WWE has never opened the “Forbidden Door” before:
“I was really surprised at that because we as a company have not really opened that forbidden door, like ever,” Kofi Kingston said. “There are other companies that have explored that, but it’s really exciting, man. And for Mickie to be the one to kind of like bust through the door, it’s so Mickie. It’s so Mickie; you know what I mean? I love it. Mickie, to me, has been like an older sister throughout my entire career. So, I’m really excited just to see her, just so we can B.S. a little bit and go back and forth.
“I was happy when I heard that. And I think a lot of the fans were happy too, because now the intrigue is there, right? Like what other doors are we gonna open? Who else is gonna be there? Like now you really have your eyes on the Royal Rumble. I think that we’ve done a great job in bringing people back from the past who have been with WWE, and that’s one of the main things of the Royal Rumble. One of the main levels of intrigue and excitement that the Royal Rumble brings. And it just gives a whole new level, man, because you really have no idea. It can literally be anybody, from anywhere, coming in at any time. I’m really excited about the Rumble, man.”
Kingston also spoke about the backlash over The Usos and New Day facing off so frequently; read more about why they think it’s funny there are complaints about the matchup at this link.
