10 Wrestlers Who Made Other WWE Wrestlers Cry
4. Xavier Woods Is Overcome With Emotion For Kofi Kingston
Kofi Kingston finally climbing the ranks to win the WWE Championship from Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35 was a monumental moment.
It was a redemption tale for Kofi after losing his opportunity near 10 years prior, in his feud with Orton, when backstage politics and manoeuvring kept him in the mid-card for years.
It was an impressive moment as it was emotional for Kofi and his New Day partners Big E and Xavier Woods, who stormed the ring after Kofi landed Trouble in Paradise for the 1-2-3. Xavier was crying holding Kofi up in the air with the title. It was a redemption story for Xavier too, given he conceived and created The New Day when being on the verge of getting fired in 2014 and had to convince Kofi and Big E of giving the gimmick/trio a shot.
Xavier tweeted after the match:
"Ive never felt emotions like this in my entire career. @TrueKofi did it. We all did it. Tonight a previously closed off part of the @wwe universe realized that they can be champion too & that representation is so much more important than people realize. Congrats Kofi. We love you’."
