Before this week's SmackDown kicked off, pretty much nobody was thinking about Kofi Kingston or The New Day at all. Why would they? The team had been frozen out of the Tag Title scene, and they had nothing going on ahead of Elimination Chamber. Then, Kofi just had to go and steal the show as a replacement for Mustafa Ali.

We hope you like your cup of Kofi (related madness), because it's a big one.

Aside from Kingston's eye-watering bumps and his stellar promo work after the show ended, there were a truckload of other little nuances to dig into on Tuesday night's delight. For example, WWE fans in Toledo decided to give creative a helping hand and come up with some new names for Shane McMahon and The Miz. Also, poor Tamina looked mighty distressed as her partner hogged all the limelight.

In this article, brace yourself for Diva throwbacks, confused commentary, some sweet new graphics and some sexual innuendos that weren't exactly PG. Meh, after that performance Kofi and the boys can get away with anything they damn well please...
