Kofi Kingston posted a video on Instagram showing, without words, that he had his walking boot removed. Kofi had surgery to remove bone fragments from his ankle last month. There’s still no public timeframe for his return, but when the announcement of his injury was made on April 10, WWE said that he would be out for “several weeks.”
The New Day seemingly won’t make their SmackDown debut until Kofi is ready to return, but he could just be the third man outside the ring until he’s fully healthy. In the video, with the walking boot removed, he seems to be walking normally.
WWE has been running promos on SmackDown saying that the New Day are “coming soon.”
