10 WWE Booking Steps To Save The Members Of RETRIBUTION
3. A Strong Elimination Chamber Performance
Elimination Chamber 2019 saw Kofi Kingston give one of his career-best performances in the WWE Championship Chamber Match, the match that would ultimately set him on the course he went down to dethrone the champion, Daniel Bryan, at WrestleMania 35.
But, remember, he was only in the match because Mustafa Ali was injured, and therefore couldn't enter himself. Ali still hasn't received an opportunity of this magnitude - his WWE Championship challenge vs. Bryan and Kevin Owens at the following month's Fastlane pay-per-view wasn't enough, especially considering the match has been largely forgotten.
That's why he should enter the Universal Championship Chamber Match in 2022 - three years after he had his original opportunity taken away.
By now, the audience will have warmed towards Ali once more, with this match officially beginning his babyface turn. He's simply better as the plucky underdog good guy because that's what he literally is. An underdog who's a heel doesn't tend to work too well.
He shouldn't win this match, however, he should be either the last or second last man eliminated. You can have him start this match too, as he did at the Royal Rumble, but that feels a bit overkill. Have him be the first out of the pods after two others start the match off.
