Former Tag Champion embraces new heel edge with viral clapback in Belfast
Summary
– Kofi Kingston responds to a fan’s comment about his physique with a bold one-liner
– Says his back is built from “years of carrying the Tag Division”
– Continues his heel run alongside Xavier Woods after Royal Rumble exclusion rant
Kofi Kingston isn’t playing nice anymore. During WWE’s live event in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the veteran star clapped back at a fan who asked about his back workout. His response? “Years of carrying the Tag Division.”
The comment quickly went viral, reinforcing Kofi’s new heel persona, which has emerged alongside Xavier Woods. No longer smiling for the crowd, Kofi has made it clear he’s fed up with being overlooked.
This isn’t the first time he’s aired his frustrations. Earlier this year, Kofi went off about being left off Royal Rumble posters, saying, “When someone says ‘Royal Rumble,’ you think of me. I should be on every single ad until the end of time.”
Now with a sharper edge and no filter, Kofi’s heel turn is turning heads—and silencing doubters, one clapback at a time.
