Summary

Kofi Kingston reflected on a busy March 30 episode of WWE Raw after coming up short in his Intercontinental Championship match against Penta. Kingston also pointed to The Usos losing the WWE World Tag Team Titles to The Vision as a result that softened the blow for him.

Before that title bout, Kingston had already stepped up to answer Penta's open challenge on Raw, which set the stage for this week’s matchup and the follow-up reaction. Kingston answered Penta's open challenge last week.

Tag Team Title Change on the Same Raw

The same show also saw The Vision beat The Usos for the WWE World Tag Team Titles, which is the result Kingston referenced while reacting to his own loss.

What This Means for Kofi Kingston and WWE's Title Picture

Penta leaving Raw with the Intercontinental Championship keeps him on firm footing heading into his WrestleMania 42 ladder match, while Kingston now has an on-screen frustration point to build from after falling short in the open-challenge follow-up. At the same time, The Usos dropping the tag titles gives WWE another active thread in the tag division, so both title pictures moved forward in one episode.
