The biggest thing about this that sticks out is that they made a main eventer in 1 week. Kofi was a midcarder, upper midcard for a large amount of his career. With this company's back against the wall they made him not only a main eventer but he pulled out his best performance ever that's not only impacting fans but it's touching other wrestlers and those backstage.
This happened in 6 days.
See, this is like that Balor/Styles match. When this company has a short amount of time to work on something to the point where they HAVE TO HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK they do well. It makes you think how things would be when they're forced to do something.

And they wouldn't be making just one star, here. Because if... IF... they pull off the inevitable Big E Turn? Dude. As much as I'd rather keep them all together as friends, the best way that I see this happening: Have Kofi win the title, and then have Big E turn on him and Xavier afterwards during the celebration, stating that he was sick of focusing years of his career on being a team player, all for Kofi to be the one to get the World title instead of him. With how over as a face that Kofi is, if Big E did that, he'd instantly become the biggest heel in the company. I do worry that heel Big E would just be booked as a generic heel, though, since he wouldn't be able to show his personality. I don't think they should go back the serious route with Big E but he needs to channel his energy into something different and unique but still be able to taken seriously

Too much momentum from the wrestlers in the back and the fans for this shit not to happen
Daniel Bryan as soon as he got in the back had to be in Vince ear like yo we need to put the title on him at Mania, I can win it back later but we have to do this

This was the first time in a long time that I was practically in tears by the end of the show. I was on the air doing a live podcast, and I had to literally choke them back. It's moments like that make me remember why I am a wrestling fan. That got to the little kid inside me who is still a mark.

Things like Kofi winning the title are what Wrestlemania was built for.

Really...if they don't do Kofi/Bryan at WM then that might be one of the best storylines they've missed this decade if not longer. Kofi's popularity skyrocketed over the past week and given the type of program this is, what they can do, there's just nothing better. They'll be literally wasting money. Anyone who goes against Bryan at WM who's not Kofi will be vehemently given that Mysterio Number 30 spot. Doesn't matter if it's Ali, doesn't matter if it's Cena coming back after time off, that's Kofi's spot in the eyes of fans judging that crowd reaction last night.
They gotta do it because this is just stupid if they do. They better have learned.
