Kofi Kingston clearly isn’t done proving his point—especially after fans started trolling him over the last few months. The WWE veteran, who recently turned heel alongside Xavier Woods, had the perfect response when asked about his physique during WWE’s European tour.

During WWE’s live event in Belfast, Northern Ireland, a fan on X/Twitter responded to a photo of Kofi in action and asked, “What’s your back workout?” The question seemed innocent enough, but Kofi took the opportunity to throw some shade with a straight-up killer line.

“Years of carrying the Tag Division.” Oof.

It’s the kind of mic-drop reply that fans have come to expect from the new version of Kofi—one who’s no longer smiling for the crowd, but instead making it crystal clear he’s had enough disrespect from both fans and the WWE brass.

This clapback also comes on the heels of his earlier rant about being excluded from Royal Rumble posters. At the time, Kofi let WWE have it: “I don’t care if I haven’t won it. When someone says ‘Royal Rumble,’ you think of me. I should be on every single #royalrumble ad until the end of time.”

Between his brutal honesty and this new ruthless edge, it looks like Kofi’s heel run is just heating up—and whether you love him or hate him, you’re definitely paying attention.
