Former WWE Champion gives high praise to Kofi Kingston for his match with Ivar on Monday Night RAW

WWE Superstars Kofi Kingston and Ivar put on a spectacular match during tonight's edition of Monday Night RAW. The bout has received a ton of praise from fans and WWE officials – one of these being fellow New Day member Big E.

Tonight, The New Day was supposed to face off against The Viking Raiders in a 2-out-of-3 Falls match. However, WWE official Adam Pearce revealed that Erik of the rival team wasn't medically cleared to compete. This would lead to Kingston and Ivar squaring off one-on-one in an instant classic, with Kofi eventually coming out victorious.

Shortly following the match, former champion and member of the New Day Big E took to social media to give some high praise to his real-life friend. Big E noted that it's a privilege to be able to still see Kofi Kingston perform in the ring.

​

"I’m clearly biased but I’m thankful we still get to watch @TrueKofi deliver incredible performances this deep into his career. Grateful for you, legend, while we still have you in the ring," said Big E on Twitter.

Big E hasn't been seen in a ring since March 2022, when he was injured on an episode of SmackDown during a tag team match against Sheamus and Ridge Holland. Big E suffered a broken neck and multiple vertebrae fractures after a suplex went wrong outside the ring.
