At some point in all of this, Kofi's run a s a heel freshens him up for where he is best suited in WWE, as a high-flying babyface. Upon losing to The Rock, The "New Nation" come out the next night on Raw, but they come out without Kofi. They say that he's been flat out kicked out of the group for losing to the man they want to bring down to the ring, The Rock. The Rock comes out, and engages in verbal sparring with Titus O'Neil. During said segment he's attacked by Brodus, Big E. and Xavier. Of course, Kofi comes out from the back to save The Rock, and when they clear the ring together, Kofi gets a handshake, his arm raised and a rub from one of the biggest stars of all time.
