Kofi Kingston is eagerly anticipating his return to the ring.
During an appearance on the Battleground podcast, Kofi Kingston said he’s been in Orlando for a week doing rehab on his ankle.
“I can’t complain. I’m actually in Orlando now, I’m doing some rehab on my ankle. I had ankle surgery to remove a bone chip and repair some ligaments after the Scottish behemoth of a man, Drew McIntyre, landed on my leg and my body went east and my leg went west. My ankle was completely sprained but they took out some bone chips and fixed a ligament and now I’m on the mend. Somewhere in between a robot and a zombie,” Kofi explained. “I’m working my way back to the fold. It’s all good. Life is grand.”
Kofi’s last match was a win over LA Knight on the February 24 episode of SmackDown. The injury took place at the March 3 taping that featured a brawl with Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Karrion Kross and Knight. Kofi was initially announced for a match involving all of the brawl participants, but was later pulled after the injury was confirmed.
Kofi had surgery on his ankle on March 17 and now he’s about 12 weeks post-op. He says he’s doing really well and he actually had the same surgery on his other ankle six years ago. Kofi says he knows what to expect and he can do normal things, but now he wants to get back to doing “WWE Superstar things” like in-ring work.
“I’ve been in Orlando for the past week seeing where I’m at, and things are looking pretty good. Hopefully, sooner than later, you’ll see me in the ring.”
