Kofi Kingston and Becky Lynch were recently interviewed by WFAN. During the interview, they were asked their thoughts on Bret Hart getting attacked by a fan at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony.
Below are some highlights (via 411Mania):
Kofi on if he is worried about something like that happening to him:
“Our fans are very passionate, to say the least.
You know what I’m saying? It’s one of those things where you just never know. A lot of people didn’t know what was going on until it was actually happening. So, we did what we had to do and got in there and protected our own.”
Kofi also shot down the idea that this was scripted in any way when he was asked.
Becky was asked if she feels like she could be targeted based on how outspoken that she is:
“Yeah, perhaps. I trust our team and you can see how quickly the people reacted. In the wrestling industry, stuff like that, we’re used to seeing run-ins. I think for some people, it would almost be jarring. But the likes of Kofi were in there like a shot and the situation was taken care of. We have some quick thinkers and great security, so we’re never really worried about it.”
On a related note, here is the statement from Bret after the incident.
