A very interesting reference to WWE was made during the Thursday, April 30, 2020 episode of the long-running popular television game show, "Jeopardy!"
The worldwide sports entertainment conglomerate was featured in the "What Does It Stand For?" category from the "Double Jeopardy!" round.
Contestant Kevin Curran, an attorney from the Chicago, Illinois area, selected $400 from the "What Does It Stand For?" category, which prompted the following:
"The first 'W' in WWE, where Kofi Kingston and No Way Jose wrestle with issues."
Curran responded with, "What is 'World'?," which was the correct response for the 'W' in 'World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)'.
No Way Jose was included in the recent WWE Black Wednesday talent cuts, which included over 30 WWE Superstars being released from the company in a single day back on April 15, 2020.
Kofi Kingston is currently one-half of the SmackDown Tag-Team Champions as part of The New Day group that includes Big E. and Xavier Woods.
Kingston took to social media to comment on being referenced on the legendary television game show on Friday afternoon. He wrote the following:
"So...last night, Alex Trebek said my name. I've probably watched this clip at least 50 times. Mamma, we made it! Life is so wonderfully weird..."
