Although the exact length of his contract is unknown at the time of this writing, one half of New Day, Xavier Woods, reportedly resigned from a multi-year contract with WWE last month when his own contract expired.
This may have left some questions about his tag team partner Kofi Kingston’s current status in WWE, but it looks like there may now be an answer. Fightful Select has reported that Kingston signed a new contract with the company “sometime earlier this year.” Kingston’s new contract is also said to keep him signed for the next five years until 2030.
Kingston’s most recent televised match came on the September 29 episode of “WWE Raw,” during which he came up short against LA Knight in singles competition. He also has a loss against recent rival Penta on the September 15 episode of “Raw”, and unsuccessfully challenged Psycho Clown and Pagano for the AAA World Tag Team Championship alongside Grayson Waller (replacing Woods, who announced he had not been medically cleared) at WWE x AAA Worlds Collide on September 12.
Kingston initially signed with WWE in 2006 as part of its developing Deep South Wrestling brand. He became a four-time Intercontinental Champion and two-time United States Champion as a singles competitor, joining forces with Woods and now former stablemate Big E as part of New Day in 2014 to become a seven-time WWE Tag Team Champion before dethroning Bryan Danielson as WWE Champion at WWE WrestleMania 35 in 2019.
