10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About The New Day
10. Kofi's Jamaican Accent
In the official WWE history books, it will presumably be written that Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods were life-long childhood friends who each fulfilled their ambitions of reaching the WWE at precisely the same time. Of course, this isn't really how it happened.
In fact, Kofi was making waves inside Vince McMahon's ring whilst his future teammates were trying to keep their heads above water in FCW and TNA respectively.
During this period, fans were told that Kofi Kingston was Jamaican, and not just Jamaican but possibly the proudest Jamaican in the whole world. He came to the ring wearing his country's colours, and even named his finisher in its honour.
It was only in the run-up to Bragging Rights 2009 that WWE decided that the Jamaican Sensation was actually a regular old American. He was forced to come clean after Triple H spotted that his accent and gimmick didn't match. The rest, as they say, is history.
