Shows how quickly things change in the WWE. Also seems like good morale-boosting move in Vince's eyes to convince wrestlers to stick around because they might get their chance if they wait around.

The crazy thing, that really says it all about just how poorly WWE treats their day-to-day talent, is that this is Kofi's first singles match at Mania.

I sure would have preferred if Kofi earned it himself instead of by proxy and through countout.
But I’ll take it I guess.

Why did they do the ending last week if they were just going to do this ending this week? The visual of Kofi running through a gauntlet to earn his spot is much better than his friends winning by forfeit to earn it.
Whatever. The end result was the right one so congrats to Kofi for his big break. Great talent finally getting a chance to shine.

Can I just say how much I loved the Usos forfeiting? These two teams have beaten the hell out of each other over the years. And it’s led to a mutual respect. That’s why they couldn’t do Kofi like that. Just great stuff.

I'm wondering if this is really the final word on the matter. Like Vince throws out a curve where Kofi can get the title shot... or Big E and Xavier can choose to have the title shot for themselves.

It bothered me at first too, but Kofi already earned it last week before Vince screwed him. Also Xavier and Big E have always said their goal was to get Kofi the WWE title so them being the ones to send him to Wrestlemania is pretty cool

I thought the fireworks factory route to mania for Kofi was well done and increases his chances of winning at WM.

Phew!
We made it, you guys.
Can’t wait to see Kofi Kingston, of all people, treated like a big deal on the Wrestlemania stage.
Never mind 10 years ago, this didn’t even seem likely back in January.

What I love about this is that Woods and E got him there in kayfabe to mirror the very real fact that he wouldn't be here without them. This is how you combine real8into a storyline, not this shooty mcshooterson stuff they've been doing in the other storylines.

Got a big laugh out of Woods’ “We train together, ride together, eat together, sleep in different hotel rooms.”

I reeeeally hope they have the "real" title on standby. A decade+ journey ending with getting a semi comedic hemp belt would really cheapen things for me. (Assuming Kofi wins).
