Dude deserves it! I loved every bit of that match.
Also, when we talk about universally beloved wrestlers, Kofi's name gotta be in there. CM Punk loved him, Seth ignored Vince's orders because he respected Kofi and wanted to give him some offense.
And the fans stayed on his side that whole hour.

That match sounds like it was meant for Ali, but Kofi got it in his place. Wonder if it leads to anything other than a one night push. I think I already know the answer to this but I won’t ruin Kofi’s moment.

Remember when people were denouncing Kofi at the Rumble and saying he would never be anything more than a midcard piece? Yeah they shut up real fast... I’m still here bro, and still say NEW DAY Kofi Kingston shouldn’t be a main eventer. I’ll give him credit. Tonight was the first night I have EVER bought into him being a potential main eventer. He’s gotta do a little more changing before I completely buy into him. Christian had his moments too, but I never saw him as more than the ultimate/top-tier Midcard act, which is where I think is Kofi’s place.

Remember when people were denouncing Kofi at the Rumble and saying he would never be anything more than a midcard piece? Yeah they shut up real fast... Didn't watch the show but no matter, it's been one night. One. Uno. Less than two but more than zero. And on top of that, it came as they needed to rush him into a main event spot out of nowhere. So yeah, maybe they keep it up and have him win the title or slot him into the WWE title match at WM (which will be in a midcard slot not because of Kofi but because WWE sucks like that) but let's not go calling people out after one great night of booking.. While I get that, it does feel just a bit satisfying when everyone was just like "Kofi's done" or just never gonna be somebody. I didnt mean to come off rude, I'm really glad this happened, I just hope they continue the pace with it, it's refreshing from RAW

Kofi is long overdue.
What I find really surreal though is how so many of his contemporaries like Zigler, Jack Swagger, even Jinder Mahal all got to have world title runs at some point in their careers and Kofi has never. And that's not even going into how many times Del Rio and Sheamus got shunted into it lol

Yet another guy they have criminally underutilized. Hope this helps give him a push.

Followup promo on Youtube. They are pushing the HELL out of the idea that Kofi getting the title is overdue and New Day wants nothing more than for him to have it.

I’ve never bought into it, but yeah. It’s gonna happen. Kofi gets the belt.
It’ll be the ultimate feel good in a season when WM has a few downers, methinks. Ultimate feel good reaction. The crowd wants it. And DB heel might be better chasing the title to WM. Plus, New Day (sorta) in a title Main Event. Also I hate to think nefarious of the company but considering the month, it might be a smart PR move.

The genuine love and respect Big E and Xavier have for Kofi is amazing.

Kofi sounds like the real deal here. This could also revive New Day in a big way and FINALLY GET THEM OUT OF THE TAG DIVISION FOR AWHILE. They desperately need it. Final two should be Bryan and Kofi and Kofi should lose via some extreme BS, leading to the Mania rivalry. I don't see why it should be any other way. If he straight wins it at the Chamber though the roof will blow off.

Like seriously-- did they FINALLY pull the trigger on Kofi Kingston after he's been earmarked to be the next 'guy' after CM Punk on ECWWE? It only took the Smackdown roster change from ECW and about 6 years of struggle.
I'm glad Randy Orton of all people was there to steal Kofi's thunder at the end. Their 'Stupid!! Stupid!!' feud on Smackdown Classic was legendary
I'm also glad they gave the Seth Rollins shout-out before the match to signify Kofi's achievement more in this Gauntlet Match. if booked flawlessly (like Kofi's and Seth's were) GMs are babyface factories

Still on hiatus from the product, but I'm incredibly happy to read this.
Put the belt on that man, let him be himself and watch the money roll in.
I know, Vince will probably f*** it up royally, and an overdose of crushed hopes is why I'm taking a break in the first place, but fingers crossed.

This is way to random before Mania, also Bryan is in his hottest heel run ever. I like Kofi but its not a smart decision to push a mid carder that only inside guys care for right now. You can have Bryan drop after Mania maybe.

Does Bryan have 2 mooks yet as backup? Has anyone joined Rowan yet? Because that's a good way to get this going. I've heard that Luke Harper might be joining them. As for Kofi I like him but i couldn't take him seriously as a WWE champ with his current gimmick.

I don’t think he should win it at EC. Bryan should go into Mania as Champion. Maybe It comes down to Bryan/Kofi and the new Wyatt family costs Kofi the belt, leading to Bryan/Kofi one on one as champion.

Another overlooked talent they've magically decided to remember needs a push just as a guy who shares a surname with an ancient Mongolian warlord enters DIZ BUZINIZZ.
