New Day vs Bryan, Rowan and Harper with the WWE Title on the line at WM would be actually sick.

If this was 10 years ago they would have done the 6 man New Day vs Bryan/BB’s at Fastlane to setup the title math at Mania. Now we get a Fastlane match we know Kofi has no chance in winning and do not get an old school, feel good, first time world title win at Mania. Major blown opportunity here. Even if they do go with Kofi/Bryan at Mania, it’s not as special, because the match has already happened. This one hurts me, because I think they are wasting a special opportunity they stumbled into.

Sure, I'd give him the strap for a while. He's always been good, now he's just suddenly catching this wave right now and you may as well seize the moment while it's hot.
Do the Fastlane match, have it end in a schmozz and hopefully it's a really good bout to boot. If that happens, stick him in a Mania rematch and win it there.
And don't split the New Day. Should be nothing but 100% support from Woods & Big E, all the way.

This is a little naive perhaps but I still think he could win it at Fastlane.
Look at the balance of matches on the cards and think how WWE likes to book across the length of a night - normally a balance of title changes/defences and a balance of face/heel wins.
You can probably lock Rollins and Lynch for babyface title wins at Wrestlemania. Would Vince consider Kofi one too many? On the flipside, they could probably do with a feel-good moment for fastlane instead.
Switching the title to Kofi, letting him walk into Mania as champ with the New Day would feel fresh, even if he loses it back to Bryan.
Otherwise, they either do the screwy finish at Fastlane and blow-off match at Mania - something they did throughout basically all 2018 with AJ Styles' feuds, but they tend to book repeat matches less often around this time of year. Or, they scratch around to find Bryan a credible opponent against fan opinion.
The correct pathway really is staring them right in the face here.

I don’t get this sudden Kofi love and I miss career midcarders. Back in the day we all just accepted and understood that your Hardcore Hollys/ Hurricanes/Al Snow were great and entertaining but they were never going to win the big one. Nowadays everyone who’s ever had 2 admittedly good matches in a row is supposed to be top of the card now...

Yeah we know that Kofi isn't winning but it's interesting to see this momentum. We know why it's happening, it doesn't mean it's any less great. At the very least, he should get the big Wrestlemania angle facing Bryan. This. While I would love Kofi to win, I don't actually give a shit if he does. Put him in the title match. The crowd will love it and it will help Bryan's heel run.
