5 Possible First Feuds For WWE Champion Kofi Kingston
Could any of these five superstars be the one to end the legend of KofiMania?
At WrestleMania 35, Kofi Kingston defeated Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship after eleven long years of hard work and dedication, becoming only the second African American WWE Champion in the process (King Booker and Mark Henry were World Heavyweight Champions, not WWE Champions). His win created an emotional moment we will surely remember years and years from now, as he celebrated with his friends and family in the ring.
Now, with WrestleMania gone and the WWE Championship in Kofi's hands, it's time to discuss who could contend for his freshly won title. This is not a dream list, fantasy booking or any of that, just a list of five people we think WWE would consider to antagonize the new champ.
However, keep your expectations low because it will most likely turn out to be Baron Corbin. And they will laugh at us, because we're just a bunch of marks and morons for actually thinking they'll do something good.
Let us know if you agree with the list, and give us other names you would like to see the new WWE Champion feud with in the comments below.
5. Daniel Bryan
Despite automatic rematches being antiquated, as we all know, there is a big chance Kofi Kingston's first (and possibly only) storyline as WWE Champion will be with the former WWE Title holder and reigning Planet's Champion, "The New" Daniel Bryan.
And after delivering a great match at WrestleMania 35 that will be remembered for ages, it wouldn't be a bad idea at all to let these two go at it again to extend this program for a couple more months.
Like JBL when John Cena won his first WWE Championship fourteen years ago, Daniel Bryan could continue carrying his own championship belt, pretending to still be the Planet's Champion or something fun like that (which Daniel would turn into gold due to his greatness), before Kofi Kingston beats him in their rematch at Money in the Bank and ends the beef once and for all, holding up both titles in the end.
Or perhaps Bryan wins it back and has another good reign for a while before putting another babyface over.
