WWE superstar Kofi Kingston took to Twitter during last night’s Christmas Day edition of SmackDown to congratulate his New Day brother Big E on becoming the new Intercontinental champion. Kingston writes, “When you fall asleep with the kids, then wake up to find out that your brother won the IC Championship. Congrats @WWEBigE! LETS GOOOOOOOOOO!”
Big E defeated the former champion Sami Zayn in a lumberjack match in the shows headliner. Afterwards Big E would cut a celebratory promo wearing a construction hat, one that Zayn now demands WWE take down from their socials.
