Kofi Kingston is progressing well in his recovery from ankle surgery.
This March, Kingston underwent surgery after injuring his ankle on an episode of SmackDown. The injury happened during a spot where Drew McIntyre hit a flip dive over the top rope onto a pile of wrestlers.
Kingston addressed his recovery while being interviewed on the Battleground Podcast on Tuesday. Kingston said the surgery he had done was to remove a bone chip and fix a ligament. For the most part, he's been ahead of schedule in his recovery. Kingston said we'll hopefully see him back in the ring sooner than later.
I’m actually in Orlando right now doing some rehab on my ankle. I had ankle surgery to remove a bone chip and fix a ligament after the massive Scottish behemoth of a man, Drew McIntyre, landed on my leg and my body went east and my leg went west and my ankle was completely sprained, but they took out some bone chips and fixed the ligament and now I’m on the mend, you know? Somewhere in between a robot and a zombie. Somewhere in between. I’m working my way back into the fold, so it’s all good. Life is grand.
I’m doing really well. I actually had this same surgery on the same ankle about six years ago to have bone chips removed, so I feel like this time around, I kind of know what to expect and I’ve been kind of ahead of schedule for the most part. And I’m really able to do a lot of normal people things and live normal life. So now it’s just a matter of trying to like go to the next level and do WWE Superstar things, you know what I mean? In-ring things like that. So I’ve been in Orlando for the past week just kind of seeing where I’m at. And things are looking pretty good, so hopefully sooner than later, you’ll see me in the ring.
Kingston and his New Day tag team partner Xavier Woods were selected by Raw in the 2023 WWE Draft. Kingston and Woods are advertised for WWE's house show tour of Germany that's taking place this October.
