WWE star Kofi Kingston spoke with Baby Huey on the In The Kliq podcast on a number of topics, including the original plans for New Day at WrestleMania 35.
Kingston said, “I don’t think I was even booked. I don’t think my plans were being talked about for WrestleMania. At that time we didn’t even really have anything going, we didn’t have a rivalry, we didn’t have a feud, we didn’t have a storyline, we didn’t really have much of anything going on. It was just the New Day being the New Day.”
On KofiMania catching on:
“Originally, like our feud, me and Daniel Bryan was supposed to stop at Fastlane … whatever the pay-per-view was before Mania or in between Elimination Chamber and Mania. But being that it was such a huge crowd reaction and people were demanding that I’d be in that main event, that’s the direction that the company went, and I’m always grateful for that because that’s not always the case, you know?”
