Patriots Spotlight Wrestling Legend During Historic Career Moment

Summary

– Patriots select WWE’s Kofi Kingston as Week 13 Keeper of the Light

– Recognition coincides with New Day’s upcoming 10-year celebration on Raw

– Team tension builds between Kingston and Woods as milestone approaches

Patriots social media lit up with custom graphics highlighting Kingston’s decorated career, declaring him their Week 13 Keeper of the Light. This is huge for wrestling crossover appeal, especially with New Day’s decade celebration coming up on Raw.

The timing here is interesting because Kingston and Woods had that wild confrontation last week that spilled everywhere. Woods was livid, Kingston wasn’t backing down – it got heated, folks. Meanwhile, Big E’s status remains uncertain after that brutal neck injury in 2022.

But let’s talk business – this Patriots recognition is massive exposure. When a major NFL franchise puts eyes on pro wrestling, it elevates the whole industry. Kingston’s acknowledgment of the honor shows natural mainstream appeal during a landmark period.

The big story is this New Day friction heading into their anniversary. Something has to give. Woods and Kingston are at odds, and Big E’s watching from the sidelines. We could see this whole thing implode or Big E makes that return everyone’s hoping for.
