Kofi Kingston Praises Seth Rollins But Is Still Eyeing His World Championship

Kofi Kingston recently joined The Bump to discuss the work of Seth Rollins, praising him for being an excellent worker and locker room leader backstage. Kingston commended Rollins for his leadership skills and his ability to consistently deliver amazing matches throughout his career. He also acknowledged Rollins’ journey to the top of the industry, overcoming various obstacles along the way.

“I think the captain is doing a fantastic job, number one as a leader, as a locker room leader over the years,” Kingston said. “He’s somebody that has always had amazing matches, but has always been kind of like a pioneer in this industry. He’s kind of risen up through the ranks against a lot of odds. Now he’s at the top, so a lot of respect for him in that sense. We call him the captain for a reason. He’s always willing to put the company on his back and put the industry on his back and represent to the highest capacity.”

However, Kingston also made it clear that he has his sights set on the World Championship currently held by Rollins. He acknowledged that Rollins has a target on his back as the top champion, but expressed his own ambition to pursue the gold.

“So always a lot of respect there. But having said that, everybody wants a taste of that gold. I think he understands that. Being at the top, you always have a target on your back. So I don’t think he would be mad or anything if myself or Woods decided to pursue that gold. Becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, we’re real greedy. When it comes to gold, we want to hold all the titles. I’m talking about WWE Title, World Heavyweight Title, the Women’s Title, the Women’s Tag Titles. We want all the titles. 24/7 title. We want them all. We’re really greedy when it comes to accolades and gold and things of that nature. So yeah, I think Seth knows he’s got the big target on his back.”

In addition to discussing Rollins, Kingston also talked about The New Day’s return to WWE after being absent for several months. Fans can read more about that here.
