WWE Champion Kofi Kingston sat down for an interview with ComicBook.com during the recent Comic-Con International event.
During their conversation, Kingston commented on Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff’s new roles as Executive Directors for RAW and SmackDown, respectively.
He called their new positions “intriguing” as he considers them to be some of the best minds in pro wrestling history. Kofi also mentioned how, although he has never met him, he is looking forward to working with Eric Bischoff going forward.
“It is very intriguing because those guys are some of the best minds in the wrestling business, in the history of the wrestling business,” Kofi said.
“It’s always good to be always switching things up,” he continued, “and those are guys who not only think outside the box, but they live outside the box. So to have them behind the creative of RAW and Smackdown is very intriguing. I’m really looking forward to working with Eric Bischoff, he’s actually one guy that I have not met. So hopefully we get to work closely as time goes by.”
Kofi Kingston is scheduled to defend his WWE Championship against “The Viper” Randy Orton on August 11th at WWE’s SummerSlam event. Their recent rivalry has reignited a long-standing feud between the two Superstars.
SummerSlam takes place in the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada.
