Kofi Kingston has recently opened up about the member of the WWE locker room that he considers a “captain”.
Kingston has signed with WWE since 2006 and is a Grand Slam champion having held all the major titles in the company.
In an appearance on WWE’s The Bump, Kingston shared his thoughts on Seth Rollins, saying:
“I think the captain is doing a fantastic job, number one as a leader, as a locker room leader over the years.
“He’s somebody that has always had amazing matches but has always been kind of like a pioneer in this industry.
“He’s kind of risen up through the ranks against a lot of odds. Now he’s at the top, so a lot of respect for him in that sense.
“We call him the captain for a reason. He’s always willing to put the company on his back and put the industry on his back and represent to the highest capacity.”
Rollins signed with WWE in August 2010 rising through Florida Championship Wrestling to become the inaugural NXT Champion when FCW was rebranded
Since his main roster debut in November 2012 at Survivor Series, he has gone on to be, like Kingston, a Grand Slam Champion.
On the subject of “the captain” in WWE, Rollins has a role in the upcoming MCU movie Captain America: New World Order.
