Kingston Comments On MITB, Whether He Expects HBK To Return

In an interview with Fanhouse.com, Kofi Kingston noted that there’s pressure to come up with new spots for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

“It gets harder and harder every time,” Kingston told Brian Fritz. “I definitely do put a lot of pressure on myself to come up with something new and innovative. I think that’s what the WWE Universe looks forward to. I know they’re like ‘well, how are they going to top the last one’.

“It’s gotten to the point where everybody knows it’s going to be awesome but there’s definitely an expectation as far as new and innovative things. We’ll see what happens man. This Sunday there’s going to be a lot of that going on especially being that there is a Raw and Smackdown Money in the Bank ladder match. We’re going to be competing which each other to try and put on the better show. People are definitely going to get their money’s worth.”

When asked to give his original thoughts on being moved to SmackDown, Kingston said, “I thought it was a very good opportunity to be honest.

“Smackdown was the only roster that I had never been a part of. I was with the Raw side, I was with ECW when I first came out. I had a few appearances on Smackdown but I never actually had a chance to be on the roster. So now that I am, I think it’s been an opportunity to be one of the main guys in there and be one of the guys, one of the flagship guys on the show. I thought it was an opportunity again to step up and kind of encounter a new frontier. It’s been very good so far and we’ll see where it all goes.”

The WWE Intercontinental Champion also commented on whether he expects Shawn Michaels to return for another match.

“I don’t know,” Kingston said. “He seems pretty adamant about not coming back. I don’t know. I guess you never say never but I’m leaning towards … Shawn is a really big family guy. He’s really wanting to spend a lot of time with his family and he’s earned that right. Yeah, I think that’s probably what he’s going to do. Who knows.”
