Big E will be gone for a long time, Xavier is still injuried. Do we just let Kofi go solo again like in 2019 when he was WWE Champion?

I would like to see it, but I have my doubts they would put him in the title hunt.

The last world title match he was in he got like half of a move in over a 20 minute squash, I can't see them putting him back in the main event scene unfortunately

Could see him going for the IC Title, that's about it. Kofi vs. Ricochet would be great.

Xavier is coming back in time for mania. There was a 6 Man Tag planned for Mania between New Day & "Team Sheamus"

Roman vs Kofi at Wrestlemania Backlash or HIAC sounds like money

Roman vs Kofi at Wrestlemania Backlash or HIAC sounds like money Between Roman’s booking and Kofi’s last two World title matches, Kofi would submit to Roman just looking in his direction.

Have Goldberg step in to be Big E's replacement in a 6 man match. Call him Big B. Then have him and Big E do a "friendly" match at one of the big 4 ppvs if Big E ever comes back.

The thing with Kofi was that while it was very welcome and was received very well, some of it was also the right place at the right time. The McMahons had just went on tv and told everyone that they knew the show was falling below expectations and that they'd listen better to the fans mere months prior, and I think part of why they actually went with Kofi was to try and make good with that. Kofi got a decent, albeit clearly secondary run, but we all know how it ended...Kofi unceremoniously loses the belt in seconds, instantaneously falls out of the title picture, then not long after that is a tag team champion again as if nothing happened, complete with Vince telling him directly on tv that it felt right or whatever he said. The future outlook doesn't look good for that, though one day, a New Day triple threat main event for the belt would be a really intriguing match.

A motivated Kofi dedicating his entire current run until E comes back would be good. He would bring the fire and intensity not seen his 2019. I think it could work and he can be easily heated up again after Wrestlemania.

I'll admit, Goldberg finally being used how he should is intriguing. Spear and Jackhammer to either BUTCH or Holland at Wrestlemania would be a fitting tribute to Big E.

If they do an IC Title Match of some kind at Mania. I could see him being added into that.

I wouldn’t mind it, at this point I wish they’d put Woods on a different brand so they can go their separate ways.

No. Hell, Woods actually worked the house show tonight with Kingston. He was gonna be back probably literally next SmackDown.

I wonder if they're going to do the tights thing like they did for when Woods was injured.

Woods is probably gonna show up next week. Besides, all they'd do is have Woods get beaten up by Reigns. What I'd want? I'd just put em in the tag team title scene and put on dope matches with the leading tag teams in the company. I'd make em the cross brand to face whoever.
And still, for as dope as Kofi's reign was we need to be honest: they'd not only ruin a second reign but dude was getting clowned on people even during that reign whether it was for insulting his hair or how he was getting beaten down by the heel even though he won the feud. We don't need that right now. There's nothing they'd be able to do with Kofi's reign that'd have more people support him after what they were saying about his previous reign prior to the Lesnar squash from him being a babyface. Nah man.
Now, if Kofi became that heel "Lebron/Michael Jordan-like" champion who was out for it all? Yeah gimme THAT champion Kofi. No matter what world title reign he tries again, it ain't beating that lol.

By Twitter, Xavier was back at live events tonight so I'm guessing if he's cleared, he'll take Big E's spot for Mania

He was sent back to the circus in his last title match, so I sincerely doubt it.
Kofi's not exactly at a Jinder level where anything near the US title picture would be met with derision, but he would need several months of serious wins to get him back on track. Given how WWE's the land of surprise roll-ups, however...

Nah, but I do think they may build to Woods going for the trifecta.
