Former WWE Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston has received a ton of praise by his fellow WWE stars for his performance on this week’s episode of SmackDown Live in Toledo, OH at the Huntington Center on the USA Network.
This episode saw him work the Gauntlet Match for an hour against the likes of WWE Champion Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Jeff Hardy. In the end, it was Orton who won the match in order to determine who would enter the structure last when the stars meet inside of the Elimination Chamber Match at this pay-per-view event on February 17, 2019 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Kingston sent a message about competing in this upcoming match in a post shared on his official Twitter account, “As we stare unto the horizon and observe the perils that lie ahead, we step forward, towards the danger…and we fight. Because we just do not know any other way. See you Sunday. #EliminationChamber”

Sometimes you forget the dude you’ve goofed off with for the last 4+ years is a legend. Putting in an actual hour against (and DEFEATING) world champs & future HOFers was awe inspiring & humbling. Last night was one we will never forget.
