In a surprising turn of events, WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston has expressed his desire to step into the ring with a rather unexpected opponent – former President of the United States, Barack Obama. The 42-year-old wrestling sensation made the revelation in a recent interview with the Battleground Podcast, where he was asked to name a historical figure he would like to wrestle.
Kingston, a former WWE Champion and member of the popular faction New Day, chose the 44th President of the United States, citing the reason behind his choice as a testament to Obama’s “cool and calm” demeanor. It’s an intriguing match-up, to say the least, with the charismatic politician potentially facing off against the high-flying wrestler.
While this fantasy match may not materialize anytime soon, Kingston has been making waves in professional wrestling. The Ghanaian-American wrestler was recently scheduled to compete in the King of The Ring tournament on Monday Night RAW, although his match against Rey Mysterio was later rescheduled for a forthcoming WWE Live Show.
Kingston has also been vocal about his support for emerging wrestling talent, including AEW star Swerve Strickland, who made history by becoming the first black performer to win the World Championship in the promotion’s history. The WWE Superstar praised Strickland’s successful run, expressing his happiness for the 33-year-old’s achievement.
In other news, Kingston’s New Day teammate, Xavier Woods, has been forced out of action due to injury. In Woods’ absence, Kingston will aim to replicate his teammate’s success in the ongoing King of The Ring tournament.
As the wrestling world continues to buzz with excitement, fans can’t help but wonder what a match between Kofi Kingston and Barack Obama would look like. While it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon, it’s certainly an intriguing prospect. For now, Kingston will focus on his upcoming matches, including his rescheduled bout against Rey Mysterio, as he looks to make a mark in professional wrestling.
