10 Examples Of WWE Punishment Booking

Kofi Kingston's singles run - still, arguably, the best in his career - ran into a Randy Orton-sized brickwall when he botched the ending of a match in the run up to the Royal Rumble in 2010.

Prior to that, he was one of the most over wrestlers on the WWE roster, and - having made his debut as a lowly ECW card-filler just 18 months earlier - looked set to break out as a huge star in his own right.

After the incident though - a very public one, thanks to Orton's in-ring rant - we didn't hear much from Kofi for a while afterwards. His main event push was put on ice - indefinitely, as it would turn out - and he duly took his place back in the mid-card.
