You can now refer to him as Sir Kofi Kingston.
At WWE Crown Jewel, Xavier Woods defeated Finn Balor to win WWE's King of the Ring Tournament. Last week on SmackDown, King Woods' coronation ceremony was held and tonight, October 29, he followed it up with another grand event.
Acknowledging Kofi Kingston as his closest confidant, Xavier knighted his longtime New Day partner, dubbing him 'The Hand of the King.'

Woods and Kingston were then interrupted by The Usos, who mocked them for dressing in royal attire. The two teams traded insults until Xavier laid down a challenge to Jimmy and Jey for a match later in the night. The Bloodline wasted no time in accepting. Approval from WWE Official Sonya Deville is being awaited.
