WrestleMania 35 was a huge even for Kofi Kingston, as he challenged Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship on the Grandest Stage of Them All, and in the end it was Kofi who walked out with the belt.
The win was the culmination of years of effort for Kingston, and on a recent episode of The New Day: Feel The Power podcast he explained that the group had big plans for his entrance.
Kofi noted that they wanted to do something more serious, so they reached out to Wale and Mega Ran to work on a new song for the entrance.
The former WWE Champion also noted that The New Day had a certain theme in mind for the entrance, but ultimately it didn’t end up happening.
“Going into what we wanted to do for the theme, we were going to dress up in African Warrior-inspired entrance gear and we would come out. And we wanted to have African dancers surround us, doing traditional African dance and we come through the dancers and start vibing with them and we start walking forward. And behind all of us, we would have people of all different ethnicities, body types, shapes, and sizes, old, young, come out behind us. I’m talking like 50 deep. All wearing old Kofi Kingston shirts all the way up until New Day shirts and all the different kinds of shirts we had. We would have them all rep that because it was all of us that came together for this moment. And then, the song, on top of that – you would have the tribal drums, which were a sped-up version of The New Day claps.”
“It was still cool, it was obviously an amazing moment and up till now, nobody would have known what it was supposed to be.”
