** When CM Punk came back in late 2023 and reunited with Kofi, he went for a hug with Kofi by shouting “JAMAICAN ME CRAZY” which Kofi responded with he didn’t do that anymore. A confused Punk asks if Kofi is Jamaican which Kofi responds with “Not anymore” which only confuses Punk further.

Armor Piercing Slap is no longer a trope


* In July 2019, a fan asked on Twitter why Kofi's chest "looks like it's collapsed". Kofi replies to the tweet with a fully in-character explanation, telling the fan that Wrestling/TheBigShow [[ArmorPiercingSlap chopped him in the chest in '09]] and it hadn't been the same since.[[note]]Kofi actually has a genetic malformation of called sternum called ''pectus excavatum'' that's become more noticeable as he's shed bulk to retain his impressive agility into his 30s[[/note]]

* Kofi Kingston legitimately got into a fight with Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, because Wrestling/ChrisJericho told him to. During a flight, Vince made a comment saying "If you ever got over, you can be Champion!" as a joke. Kofi took it on the chin, but Jericho came up to him and told him "Are you going to let him tell you that, you get back in there and confront him", his Boss, mind you. Sure enough, it led to them grappling, which all end with essentially both sides laughing it off.
