Smackdown lead announcer Tom Phillips was today’s guest on “Busted Open Radio”. During the appearance, he described the electric atmosphere of the crowd when Kofi Kingston earned his title shot as the result of The New Day winning the tag team gauntlet match on Smackdown. Here’s what Phillips had to say:

Byron was coming out of his shoes. He was excited as we all were. The whole building erupted, the place was going nuts. It was just a remarkable situation that Big E and Xavier Woods pulled off a miracle. They were put in a situation … a tag team gauntlet match and they had that sense of relief when The Usos, arguably the best team on the planet right now, said, ‘We respect you. We respect Kofi. We’re going to forfeit.’ So it was a slight reprieve and here comes Bryan and Rowan. It was an incredible roller coaster of emotions. To see Big E & Xavier … get it done, it was elation at Mohegan Sun.
