10 Wrestlers You Were Totally Wrong About
1. Kofi Kingston
Taking up a spot on the WWE roster for a whopping 11 years heading into the Road to WrestleMania 35, there was never any question over how talented and entertaining The New Day's Kofi Kingston unquestionably was and had been throughout his Sports Entertainment run.
Yet, as the years rolled by, many felt that Kingston's time as a potential world champion for the company had come and gone, with the valiant babyface and equally hysterical heel never quite making that step up to main event level solo star.
That all changed in the lead-up to the 35th Show of Shows, though.
On the back of a substitute WWE Championship Elimination Chamber appearance that forced fans to unexpectedly believe, KofiMania soon spread across the land and made the concept of a Kofi main event battle with the despicable "New" Daniel Bryan too glorious to pass up on.
Weeks of leaping and sometimes failing to overcome the obstacles sent his way finally led to Big E and Xavier Woods earning Kingston the 'Mania WWE title chance even his most passionate supporters assumed would never become a reality.
But it did. And one of the most satisfying visuals in the event's history soon graced The Grandest Stage as the long-time bridesmaid finally lifted the big one under the brightest of lights.
