WWE announced last Monday that Kofi Kingston has a broken jaw. However, Kingston actually commented on having jaw issues during an Instagram livestream before the show. 

Kingston stated during the stream, “I gotta apologize, I feel like I’m talking out of the side of my mouth and I’m dealing with like a jaw injury right now, and my mouth is only closing on one side. So, if I sound kind of funny, that’s why. Ordinarily, I do a lot of imitations, impersonations, and impressions, but I’m not doing that right now. I’m talking funny just trying to figure this situation out.”

On the latest episode of New Day’s podcast, Kingston gave the latest details: 

“Going back to when I injured my jaw, I got kneed in the face by Cedric Alexander like three weeks ago.  A couple of my teeth chipped.  It was all fine.  It was cool.  The point of impact was like real sore.  I thought, ok, it’s a bruise or whatever.  The next week we had a six-man match and everything was fine.  A little pain, but not terrible.  Then the next week when we had our match, right before we went out, it kept feeling like it was loose, like, oh, this is weird.  As soon as we got out to the ring, I’m moving around and now I’m feeling it come out of place and feel like it wasn’t set in.  I feel like if the fans were there, I wouldn’t have felt that.  Throughout the entire match, anytime something would happen, I would get hit or whatever, I’ll grab my jaw.  I’m like, man, the entire match, I was thinking about it the entire time.  But, if we had fans there, I’ve been, not necessarily injured, but been hurt in a match, and you feel like the adrenaline of a crowd and it makes you will your way through it.  It changes the whole dynamic of how we do what we do and the approach.  It is really strange.  I don’t know if it’s for the better or the worse.  I guess the best way I can describe it is different.”
