Kofi Kingston isn’t afraid to take risks in the Royal Rumble and some of those risks came courtesy of a challenge from Hornswoggle.
In a recent interview with CBS Sports‘ Shakiel Mahjouri Kingston shared a bit of detail as to where some of his most wild Royal Rumble spots got their inspiration from and the former WWE Champion revealed that a lot of those ideas came from the mind of Hornswoggle.
“When Hornswoggle was with the company, we used to travel together and we would sit in the hotel. Probably 24 to 48 hours before the kickoff of the Rumble,” Kingston said. “Something would come into my head. He would joke around about it. Just to spite him, I would go out there and do it. Like jumping on the chair and using it as a Pogo stick, came from a joke. Hornswoggled said, ‘What are you gonna do? You don’t have anything to do. Why don’t you get a Pogo stick and then you can jump.’ I was like, ‘Oh, that’s actually a really good idea. So I was in the hotel room. I actually got out of the bed, got onto a chair and started hopping with them… I’m going to do this in the Rumble. And now what you thought was a joke is going to be a thing.”
