Kofi Kingston's incredible escape from elimination at WrestleMania XXX
0 views3 Sep 2026
One of the most unforgettable survival moments came during the inaugural Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXX, when Kofi Kingston pulled off an incredible escape from elimination. After Cesaro tossed him over the top rope, Kofi somehow kept his feet from touching the floor by planting them on the steel steps before tumbling backward onto the barricade.
Balancing on the edge of the barrier, Kingston regained his footing and then launched himself across the gap with a jaw-dropping running leap back onto the ring steps, allowing him to re-enter the match to a massive reaction from the crowd. Michael Cole and JBL could barely believe what they had witnessed, with the commentary team describing the recovery as almost impossible.
Although Kingston was eventually eliminated by Sheamus later in the match, the incredible spot further cemented his reputation as WWE’s master of creative survival. Cesaro ultimately won the battle royal, finishing the match by famously lifting Big Show over the ropes in a spectacular finale. 🔥🤯
