"It's really sad to see him go out and bury me" - The New Day's Kofi Kingston goes off on WWE veteran
WWE's The New Day shocked the world on Monday Night RAW when the duo turned on Big E, who hasn't competed since 2022. Meanwhile, Kofi Kingston went off on Hornswoggle, who recently shared an incident between the two at WrestleMania 28.
The New Day took a dark turn on Monday Night RAW when they decided to move forward without Big E. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods turned on The Powerhouse of Positivity and solidified themselves as the biggest heel duo on the red brand.
In an interview on Battleground Podcast, the former WWE Champion went off on Hornswoggle, who recently shared a story from the past where Kingston didn't provide him enough support at WrestleMania 28 during a spot:
"He's one of my best friends on the face of this planet, but boy, he sure is ungrateful. For a man of his stature to be such an ingrate is crazy. He should be thanking me for putting him in that position and pumping the crowd up, getting them excited to see this man do his tadpole splash outside the ring. Giving him an unforgettable WrestleMania moment."
Kofi addressed the video from Chris Van Vliet's channel:
"Instead of going on CVV's show and thanking me profusely, he goes out there and he wants to bury me as if he could've done that without me. He's a big boy; he doesn't need me to hold his hand throughout everything. You've been wrestling longer than I have. It's really sad to see him go out and bury me," Kingston said.

The New Day's Kofi Kingston fires back at Big E's girlfriend after WWE RAW
The New Day received a lot of hate for their action on Monday Night RAW when they turned on Big E and went off on him for not being there for the duo. This led to E's real-life girlfriend Kris Yim taking a few shots at the tag team.
In the same interview, Kofi Kingston addressed the shots following WWE RAW, took a few of his own, and defended his and Xavier Woods' actions by presenting facts rather than insults.
"In an argument, you always know you're right when presenting your case with facts and information. And you wait for the rebuttal, and the rebuttal is like, cuss word, cuss word, you're bird-chest. I'm glad that Brock beat you. The KOTR is a Burger King crown. I'm not going to cook dinner for you anymore," Kingston said.
It'll be next to see what's next for The New Day on WWE RAW.
