Kofi Kingston thanks fellow WWE stars for free Super Bowl ticket

Due to the kindness of a couple of his WWE colleagues, Kofi Kingston got to attend the Super Bowl for free on Sunday night.

Kingston sent out a message this morning thanking Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch for having him as their guest at Super Bowl LX. The game did not go the way Kingston (a New England Patriots fan) wanted it to, but he still had a great time seeing his team play on football’s biggest stage.

“Wish the result was different, but I have to thank Seth & Becky for making this possible,” Kingston tweeted. “Watching your team play in the Super Bowl is such a rare experience & I’m beyond grateful for their thoughtfulness. BIG Salute to the Cap’n & The Man! I am forever indebted…”

In his tweet, Kingston included an image of the text thread where Rollins invited him to the Super Bowl. Kingston offered to pay for the ticket, but Rollins said he himself had received the ticket for free and would not allow Kingston to pay for it.

Rollins is a big NFL fan and has been branching out into sports media, including a recurring role as a guest host on the NFL Network series “Good Morning Football.” Leading into the Super Bowl, he made several media appearances at Radio Row last week. Rollins is currently recovering from a rotator cuff injury but is hoping to be cleared to return in time for WrestleMania 42 this April.
