Last night's episode of Monday Night RAW saw one of the biggest, if not the biggest moment in company history as well as the wrestling career of New Day member Kofi Kingston when Kofi pinned both the WWE Champion Bobby Lashley and Randy Orton on the same night. Immediately after RAW, Kingston appeared on RAW Talk and was asked where last night's RAW ranks in his career.
Kingston said, “It has been only half-an-hour since it happened, so I don’t know where I can rank [the night] among all my other wins and championships.” “But I will just say this: Kofi Kingston just pinned the WWE Champion.”
Kingston then revealed that he is the only person to pin and defeat Bobby Lashley since he has become the WWE Champion.
Kingston said, “Let me ask you a question: since Lashley has become champion, how many people have pinned him? Only one, and that’s me. What does that mean, bro? That’s why I always say, ‘when you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.’ You never know when your opportunity comes, and when it does, you have to capitalize."
R-Truth then asked Kofi if he is pursuing his second WWE Title, to which he said, “I am on the top of the mountain today. But when you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.”
Kofi Kingston was able to pin Lashley thanks to outside interference from Drew McIntyre, who appeared out of nowhere and decked Lashley with MVP’s cane. Kofi would then roll up Lashley for the pin to get the non-title victory.
