Report: Former WWE Champion re-signed with company earlier this year
According to a new report, Kofi Kingston re-signed with WWE earlier this year.
Fightful is reporting that Kingston is believed to have signed a five-year contract that expires in 2030. He first signed a WWE developmental deal in 2006 and has remained with the company ever since.
It’s not clear exactly when Kingston’s previous deal would have expired, but all three members of The New Day signed five-year contracts with the company in 2019.
Kingston made his main roster debut in 2008 and, along with Big E and Xavier Woods, formed The New Day in 2014. He won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35, defeating Daniel Bryan after fans pushed for him to be included in the world title picture.
Yesterday, news broke that Xavier Woods had also reached an agreement with WWE on an extension, although terms and length have not been disclosed. Woods confirmed the news later in the day on Tuesday, writing: “How do yall know this stuff? I didnt say anything! But yes. You’re gonna see my sexy face for a while longer even though you dont deserve it. 22 years in the game and about to make the next bit even better than the rest.”
