WWE announced that Kofi Kingston had surgery to remove bone fragments from his ankle and will be out for “several weeks.”
Kofi Kingston sustained an injury to his right ankle during The Revival’s post-match assault last Monday night on Raw, and WWE.com can confirm that the former Raw Tag Team Champion will be out of action for several weeks.
“During the attack by The Revival, Kofi injured his right ankle and heard a crack, and was unable to put weight on his leg following the attack,” WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann told WWE.com. “Further evaluation and an MRI revealed that the attack had caused fragments of bone to break off the ankle bone (talus), requiring arthroscopic surgery to remove the bone chips from the damaged joint.”
The Revival situation definitely was an angle, since they had them deliberately attack his ankle on Raw, but it seems like the injury is legit and Kingston has probably needed surgery and the Revival angle was a way to write him off TV.
The Revival tweeted:
