WWE World Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston of The New Day spoke with Sports Illustrated about various topics, including him and Xavier Woods winning their 13th tag titles, considering their NXT titles.
Kingston said, “Everyone keep saying 12, it’s actually 13. They don’t want to count the NXT championships. I don’t know why, but it doesn’t surprise me because they’ve been trying to short change us for quite sometime and we just keep defying the odds.”
On winning the titles at WrestleMania 41:
“It really meant a lot, Number one, being on WrestleMania is such a rarity… The fans don’t really understand how difficult it is to get a match on WrestleMania, let alone win a championship on WrestleMania. It’s difficult to do. It (the win) feels great because this time around, nobody wanted us to do it. There’s a lot of people that were against us.”
