If Styles and Orton are both out of the title picture for Mania, sure, why not?
I was certain Bryan was going to be facing Miz at Mania, but since he’s a co-tag champ with McMiz now, Kofi’s a good pick as any. Dude’s managed to stay over for a long time. Plus it’d be fun to see Bryan positioned as the “last boss” for a rising contender to overcome for once.

That may have been the performance of his career. I’m not a fan but hats off to him.
I still see a midcarder when I look at him though. I see the SOS, Never ending Dolph Ziggler feud, Multi time IC or U.S Champ Kofi. Other than Orton in 09 has he ever been involved in a featured storyline or feud?
If he keeps producing performances like this though who knows. He also needs to step up his promo game tenfold and get serious imo.

"I've waited too long! It's been 11 years! Fight me!"
That one unscripted, fired up outburst from Kofi was more effective in getting him over as a fiery, take no shit babyface was more effective than any scripted face promo WWE has had for anyone in YEARS.
Also, AJ showing concern and wanting him to stay down before getting fired up by Kofi was such great character work. That one brief moment did so much for both guys.

Yeah this match actually made me like AJ as a face far more than I've liked him since that Cena feud. All because he had empathy for Kofi. I was rooting for Kofi and I knew he'd lose but at the same time the match was laid out perfectly.

The winning moment would be good, but the actual title reign would suck. Not because of Kofi, he's fantastic. Rather, because of the way they'd book Kofi. He'd be like Rey Mysterio or Jeff Hardy, where his title reign was mostly him doing jobs and dropping the title in short order to someone far less over (probably Drew or something).

Ten years ago Kofi was supposed to enter his first Elimination Chamber before Edge jumped him, took his spot, and won the match. Now Kofi is the substitute for a young superstar in the Chamber. Sometimes stories fall into WWE's lap. If they want to prove the ceiling for tag teams is higher than perceived... Give Kofi The win.

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. Great promo, and I'd like to see more of this New Day on TV.

I'd be OK with him getting it (but I really don't want it getting Freebird'd).

I’ve been saying for a while that he needs to win the belt, then with Bryan’s character, I said he needed to win the thing at Mania, but damn, I can’t wait. Give it to him this Sunday!

Hmmmm, I may have to go back and watch this match now. And that's saying something.

I don't have stats to back this up, but I feel like, when booking has to be rewritten quickly, the WWE likes surprising people by giving it to the new guy who wasn't originally planned to be in the match. Am I right about this?
(But WWE, if you do this, SLOW-BURN THE BIG E TURN)

Do you think Kofi is going to be treated more seriously now, or next week will he be playing with pancakes and bologna again?

I will say that while Joe is my preferred winner, I don't mind Kofi getting the belt. I want new blood in the title scene. Let him prove me wrong. Hell, have Joe steal Kofi's moment by choking him out for the title win and then have Kofi beat Joe at WM.
Plus it could set up a ladder match between Kofi and Bryan for their titles (think Razor/Shawn) down the line and that does sound fun.

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... Nah. I'll give Kofi his due, he can work his ass off. He's still my pick to be the first or second guy eliminated in the Chamber, though.

Ok, follow me: Kofi gets the title shot at Mania. Kofi tells Xavier and E that he wants to take on Bryan alone. He appreciates everything they've done, but he wants to win or lose solo. So it's Mania night. They announce the WWE title match is next. Bryan comes out first, because he wants to cut a promo on the pageantry of WrestleMania, yadda yadda yadda...simpler times, fireworks are pollution, and so on. Then the ring announcer says, "And his opponent..." and S.O.S. starts blasting. Kofi comes out in his classic Kofi trunks. Green or yellow, with the Kofi logo on them. The palm tree kickpads, pyro, the whole nine. Classic Kingston. And then these two just tear the place apart. Kofi gets the win, and celebrates on Xavier and E's shoulders. Dammit Vince book this shit!
