WWE Raw Star's Injury Status Receives Massive Update

It appears one key member of the “WWE Raw” roster has avoided an injury. During Monday’s episode of the red brand, Kofi Kingston of The New Day fell short against LA Knight in singles action.

Fans were concerned for Kingston, as he took a flush knee to the head during the match.

During “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Bryan Alvarez reported that Kingston is not listed in WWE’s internal injury report, and he appears to be fine. While Kingston and his tag team partner Xavier Woods aren’t involved in a major storyline, they are both viewed as valuable performers on a weekly basis for WWE’s flagship show. Kingston is also a former WWE Champion who can still deliver marquee singles matches when called upon.

Kofi Kingston’s Injury History

While Kingston has been known for his durability, even he hasn’t escaped the injury bug in the past. The former multiple-time WWE Intercontinental Champion underwent elbow surgery back in 2013. He also needed arthroscopic surgery in 2017 after suffering an ankle injury. Kingston was forced to miss “WrestleMania 39” back in 2023 after suffering another ankle injury.

Kingston’s Current Storyline

Kingston and Woods continue to mourn the end of The New Day’s run with the WWE World Tag Team Championship. The legendary team had a 72-day reign that ended on the June 30 episode of “Monday Night Raw.” Kingston and Woods were defeated by Finn Balor and JD McDonagh of The Judgment Day.

The New Day have also taken Grayson Waller under their wing, although Waller isn’t officially considered to be a member of the group. Waller wasn’t around to help Kingston in his match against LA Knight, as he is selling an injury from last week’s six-man tag team match.

The New Day and Waller were beaten by Penta and the War Raiders. Penta won the match with an avalanche destroyer, which has led to a storyline neck injury for Waller.
