Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods reflect on Kofi's tremendous opportunity and responsibility of challenging for the WWE Championship.

After an incredible hour-long performance in last week’s Gauntlet Match, Kofi Kingston nearly went the distance at WWE Elimination Chamber. The veteran New Day member came within an eyelash of dethroning Daniel Bryan to capture the WWE Championship, but a high-risk splash from atop one of the pods did not go his way, leading to Bryan hanging onto the hempen title.

Despite the setback, Kingston was not too downtrodden after the bout, as he thanked the WWE Universe for their support, saying he was “one step closer.”

I wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the love and good vibes over the past week. Your support has been just overwhelming. Tonight didn’t go our way, but I believe that we are one step closer...
