2. Daniel Bryan Vs. Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston was battered to f*ck by The Bar just a fortnight shy of losing his Fastlane catbird seat thanks to the needless needling of Vince McMahon - but The Chairman's interjections have to be lighting the way for the beloved New Day member at this crucial point in his partially unplanned push.

Ironically, the most recent fan response to his unfair punishment mirrored exactly what happened to Daniel Bryan in 2014 - the audience abandoned Fastlane's WWE Championship match to show their love for Kofi Kingston at the expense of earnest babyface Mustafa Ali and comeback kid Kevin Owens, and this had to be by the organisation's design.

McMahon's moxey towards Kingston in particular was far too full-on to not be awaiting comeuppance down the road, even if the revenge only comes from Kingston winning the big one on 'The Grandest Stage'.
