Rumor: New Day May Be Off TV Until Kofi Kingston Returns From Injury

WWE has apparently been discussing the possibility of keeping The New Day off TV until Kofi Kingston returns from his injury, according to PWInsider.

WWE chose to not have New Day debut in person on SmackDown last week, instead just showing a graphic and pre-recorded hype video.

Kofi had surgery to remove bone fragments from his ankle last week and according to WWE, he will be out “several weeks.” “Several weeks” is obviously a pretty wide range of possible time off but I would assume once he’s a bit more healthy that they could/would probably bring him back on TV before he’s officially cleared to wrestle and just have him be at ringside until he’s ready.
