Sir Kofi's status for this week's episode of WWE SmackDown is in question.
Last Friday night, King Xavier Woods defeated Jimmy Uso in a 'Bend the Knee Match.' The New Day member was victorious, but before Jimmy could kneel before the King, Xavier was hit with a Superman Punch by Roman Reigns. The Bloodline proceeded to beat up Woods and Kingston, specifically targeting Kofi's knee and making Woods watch. Roman told Xavier to show up next week and see what a real King looks like.
In a medical update provided online, WWE has revealed that Kofi has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain in his knee. They did not provide any further information regarding his status for Friday's show, which will see King Woods go one-on-one with the Universal Champion and Head of the Table, Roman Reigns.
