Kingston lost the WWE Championship to Lesnar in an underwhelming 7-second match during SmackDown’s premiere episode on FOX in October, and as expected, the booking decision drew the ire of the WWE Universe.
The New Day member admitted that he would have loved to put together a longer and more compelling match against The Beast Incarnate. He even fought for his plan to come to fruition, however, sadly, the officials had other ideas.
Kingston realized how the business works and conceded that some things are beyond his control.
The former WWE Champion added that he was grateful that he was allowed to live his dream of holding the top title of the company. He also highlighted the fact that six-month title reigns don’t happen quite often and he enjoyed his time at the top while it lasted.
The 38-year-old WWE veteran has no time to dwell in a ‘dark space of negative energy’ and intends to achieve a lot more while he is still an active competitor.
Here’s what he had to say:
For the WWE, Lesnar is a special attraction. The Beast Incarnate shows up every once in a while and is rarely a part of 20+ min epics that the fans love to see on PPVs.
Lesnar’s longest match came against Daniel Bryan at last year’s Survivor Series, which crossed the 18-minute mark. WWE follows a tried-and-tested pattern with Lesnar and expecting anything else would be foolish.
Kingston’s solid reign didn’t deserve the ending that it got, but it’s not his fault that he came up against the strongest booked Superstar in the company.
