Kofi Kingston says he wouldn't expect to hear his old "SOS" theme song any time soon.
When Kofi Kingston first came to WWE, he had a more stereotypical Jamaican presentation, complete with an accent that would be randomly dropped on a 2009 episode of Monday Night Raw. However, his theme song, SOS by Collie Buddz, would stick with him up until he joined The New Day in 2015. Speaking to Ryan Satin on the Out of Character podcast, Kofi Kingston says that for anyone expecting to hear the song soon, he wouldn't hold his breath.
Kofi also joked about the misheard lyrics for the song, which suggests he was consuming Shelton Benjamin.
"You would be surprised at how many people ask that like on a weekly basis. There's so many people. People were like, 'I'm eating Shelton,' no. 'I hear them shouting.' I'm eating Shelton? No, I'm not consuming that man," he laughed. "I always say like, 'If you want to hear 'SOS,' all you got to do is go on to Peacock or go to the WWE Network, you know, wherever you are, and you go and watch old Kofi Kingston stuff,' or if we get another time machine. I don't know what happened to our last one. It got stolen. But I don't think that we'll be hearing 'SOS' any time soon. But you never say never, especially in this industry."
The time machine refers to a 2016 sketch on Monday Night Raw where the new day had a time machine and Kofi Kingston went back to 2009 to relive what was, at the time, “the best year of his career.”
These days, Kofi Kingston proudly comes out to The New Day theme song as he has every week since 2015.
