Zilla Fatu Jabs Kofi Kingston After WWE Exit On May 2, 2026

zilla fatu went after Kofi Kingston after his WWE exit on May 2, 2026, turning an old feud into a fresh public shot. He replied to Kingston’s earlier message with a line that framed a possible match as work for both men, not just another online exchange.

Fatu wrote, "Hey buddy, I heard you lost your job, if you need some work hmu Zilla Fatu vs Kofi Kingston would feed families! Let’s help him out" after Kingston left WWE. The post landed because it tied the exit to a name people already associate with the rivalry, and because it suggested a matchup independent promotions could market around a grudge that has already played out in public.

Early 2025 Heat

The feud started in early 2025, when Fatu accused Kingston and Xavier Woods of disrespecting his fans and his hometown of Houston. It escalated after Woods threw a fan’s shirt on the ground following an event, then sharpened again on RAW when Kingston grabbed a fan’s "Zilla Fatu thumbs down" foam finger during The New Day’s entrance and tossed it away.

Fatu answered with angry videos aimed at Kingston and Woods, keeping the dispute visible while he was wrestling for independent promotions. Kingston pushed back online by telling Fatu to focus on "getting a job" and saying he would "prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law if he was to lay a hand" on him.

Kingston’s May 2 Exit

Kingston and Woods officially left WWE after reportedly not reaching an agreement in contract renegotiation talks, and Kingston’s departure on May 2, 2026 gave Fatu’s latest jab a new edge. The exchange is less about nostalgia than leverage: a feud that already includes fan merch, social posts, and a RAW incident now has a cleaner pitch for an outside promoter.

That is the business opening here. Fatu’s line does two things at once — it mocks Kingston’s exit and sets a price tag on the fight — which is why independent promoters would likely have considerable interest if the two ever move from posts to a booked match.
