During his recent interview, current WWE Smackdown Superstar Sir Kofi Kingston shared his thoughts on IMPACT Knockouts Champion Mickie James being a participant in this year's 30-Woman Royal Rumble match.
When asked about his reaction to the announcement from WWE, the former WWE Champion and current New Day member told Bleav In Pro Wrestling “It’s so Mickie. You know what I mean? I love it. You know, Mickie to me has been like an older sister throughout my entire career. So I’m really excited just to see her, just so we can b.s. a little bit and go back and forth."
Kofi went on to say "But I was real happy when I heard that and I think a lot of the fans were happy too because now the intrigue is there, right? Like, what other doors are we gonna open? Who else is gonna be there? Now you really have your eyes on the Royal Rumble because I think we’ve done a great job at bringing people back from the past who have been with WWE and that’s one of the main things of the Royal Rumble – one of the main levels of intrigue and excitement that the Royal Rumble brings. It just gives a whole new level because you really have no idea. It can literally be anybody from anywhere coming in at any time. So yeah, I’m really excited about the Rumble and when it’s in front of people it’s just that much better. This is one of – I feel like it’s WrestleMania and the Rumble as the top two pay-per-views of the year. People get so excited, man. Like, people in the crowd and the countdowns – like this huge, big-ass party. It’s just awesome, man. So, I just can’t wait. The energy is gonna be off the chain.”
