WWE News: Kofi Kingston Flips Off Samoa Joe on Smackdown, Ali in Pre-Show Dark Match

– Kofi Kingston followed Monday’s Raw lead in getting a little above the usual PG rating during tonight’s Smackdown, as he flipped the bird at Samoa Joe. You can see video below of Kingston responding to Joe’s demand for a show of respect with the obscene gesture, which led to Joe trying to attack Kofi but getting taken down.

The segment comes after last night’s Raw featured a big opening match angle involving a Falls Count Anywhere match where Cody Graves audibly and uncensored said “holy s**t!” and Maria Kanellis calling Mike her “bitch.”

– As seen below, Ali worked the pre-show dark match, defeating Buddy Murphy:
