In an interview with Newsweek, newly crowned WWE Champion Kofi Kingston was asked about his thoughts on the recent harsh comments that Billy Graham made about, he said:

“I’ve heard a few things through the grapevine. Honestly, I haven’t seen them myself. People can say whatever they want, but as long as they turn on the television, they will see me as champion. That’s really all that matters, and I don’t have a comment about people’s opinions. People are entitled to their own opinion as far as what a WWE Champion should be, but the fact is that I am WWE Champion … and that’s a fact. It is what it is.”
