Kofi Kingston On How Long He Plans His Crazy Royal Rumble Spots, Tonight's SmackDown Matches
- Kofi Kingston was recently interviewed by NOLA.com and talked about his crazy Royal Rumble spots:
"The funny thing about it is that a lot of people think that I think about them year-round, and the past three years now, the idea hasn't come to me until like 12 hours before the event. I don't put any pressure on myself to come up with anything cool. I approach it like any other match. I don't know if I'd put one (escape) above another. Like I always say, the greatest trick of all would be to actually win."
- WWE taped the following matches for tonight's WWE SmackDown:
* Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose vs. Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler
