- For around 7 years, Kofi was ‘advertised’ as a Jamaican. However, when Ghana, progressed in the FIFA World Cup in 2014, WWE wasted no time in flaunting his Ghanaian ancestry.
- Royal Rumble stands a testimony to Kofi’s skills, as he pulls off something unbelievable everytime he steps in the PPV ‘main event’. A polite reminder- for a wrestler to be eliminated from the Royal Rumble Battle Royal match, he should be thrown off the top rope and both his feet should touch the ground.
