The whole feud and match with Bryan turned me from someone who respected Kofi and wanted him to win for both him and his fans into an actual Kofi fan. Great shit.

I never cared much for Kofi but he's won my respect and admiration.

He seems like he's on top of the world right now, and it's great to see. The panel he did with HBK and Gargano before Wrestlemania was interesting, with him admitting that he was just going through the motions and not really enjoying himself, in the year or so prior to New Day. That he was "the guy who goes out and does some cool stuff, has a good match, and then loses". He seems so genuinely grateful to Woods and Big E, for asking him to join their group.
Creatively, and financially, it's probably more than any of them could ever have hoped for.

Man when Kofi loses the title whoever beats him is gonna get some massive heat.
Would suck if they were a vacuum.

Wanted it for years and it went perfectly. Just so happy this happened.

I can't imagine how much his phone has been blowing up this week with people wanting to hit him up. There's no way this dude has had much rest.

Class act, through and through. I hope he keeps his spot at the top, because he's earned it.

Yea, he mentions that before New Day he didn't know how much longer he would wrestle and he can't thank those guys enough for giving him a reason to continue going and be in this position
Woods and E have been on paper from jump on wanting this for Kofi so you know everyone is just over the moon about this

That media appearance he and Becky did on Monday morning was amusing. Kofi was still beaming, and seemed wide awake, but Becky was kind of out of it. Hard to imagine the physical and mental toll that Wrestlemania takes on the headline performers.

He had a damn good poker face around that 2014 timeframe if he legitimately had one eye on the exits for most of it. Like, I’m going through 2014 for the points project at the moment and I’m in that weird period for him where it was after they’d actually first hinted at the New Day group on TV and paired them all up, but then they’d actually abandoned it briefly so they were all just being singles guys again before they were taken off TV to properly repackage them for it. And he’s barely getting off of Main Event and Superstars at this point.

Excellent speech. An 11-year journey that finally paid off.
I hope he gets a decent amount of time with the title.
