Kofi Kingston is thankful for his journey over the past 20 years
Kofi Kingston has finally spoken out about his WWE departure, issuing a statement on Twitter/X about his tenure ending. Kingston, who had been with WWE since 2006, shared his gratitude for his experience over the past 20 years.
Kofi said he reached his goal, which was to provide a comfortable life with great memories for his family. The former WWE Champion also alluded to the reports of being asked to restructure his contract. In his statement, he encouraged everyone not to “compromise or accept less than your due when it comes to your worth.”
Kofi Kingston’s full statement is below:
“It’s taken me two full days to respond to all my texts. I hadn’t been on social media until today and I’m overwhelmed by all the messages here too. So much love. So I can’t help but to be filled completely with gratitude…
My story has been nothing short of remarkable and I am truly blessed to have had such an illustrious, accolade-laden and, most importantly, fun-filled career. I made my childhood dream become the most wonderful reality.
Throughout this journey, I’m so thankful to have been surrounded by great friends and to have built so many unbreakable connections with people that I’m very proud to call my family.
Kofi Kingston proudly met his biggest goal as a WWE Superstar
Most people go through life without ever experiencing a love like I have for Woods and E. That bond alone would have made this whole experience worth it.
There are far too many people to mention by name here, but to everyone who has ever supported me, guided me, helped me, taught me, cheered for me, praised me, stood up for me, and even rooted against me: Thank you. I appreciate you more than words can say.
My main mission has always been a simple one: To provide a comfortable life filled with heartwarming memories for my family. And, largely in part to all of you, I can proudly say that I have achieved that goal and more.
This wasn’t supposed to be a novel, so let me wind it down with some advice: Do your best to live a life without regrets, control what you can control, always give it your all, and fight hard for what you believe in. Do not ever compromise or accept less than your due when it comes to your worth. Find the courage to believe in yourself and fearlessly pursue your goals and dreams, because anything is possible. The kid that was too small, short, skinny, and scrawny was never supposed to make it in this land of giants…yet here we are. And so…as the sun sets on one chapter, so too must it rise in another. Tomorrow is indeed…a New Day. ☀️”
