To be fair this was until rollins got jealous and shoot injured him by bucklebombing him on the barricade (any smart wrestler would know how dangerous that is considering that even in its basic version. The opponent puts his arms out)

Finn got a world title shot and a world title win like two weeks after his call-up, I bet they had big plans for him
problem is, if you get injured at the wrong moment and your name isn't Joe Anoai, Vince instantly loses interest in you due to his autism

he was supposed to get punted by orton and kept standing back up causing orton to get ticked off, rko him, call him stupid multiple times, then go for the pin
i still don't think kofi would've been in the main event back then anyways he had no real character or mic skills, but he did screw up pretty badly

kofi was hot, team orton vs team kofi was based at survivor series. kofi messed up a finish of a match, randy started screaming "STUPID STUPID" before pinning him and kofi got buried. after that they were never on the same brand. he did the same thing to mr kennedy, orton was a bitch back then.

I don't know what the picture is, but had a match with orton on raw and was supposed to take the punt but got up so orton gave him an rko and he took it wrong, so orton started yelling at him and calling him a retard for everyone to hear
he got buried backstage after that

this is funny because in 2016 most guys, including Styles said their favorite opponent to work with was Reigns, because he was safe
But also, he was slow and boring af with an arsenal of four moves (superman punch, spear, samoan drop and that ringside kick)
