When he wasn't working intricate sequences with AJ Styles, Kofi Kingston was bawling his eyes out in mental anguish over losing the WWE Title in nine seconds to Brock Lesnar last week. Only kidding. Kofi looked happy, chucked pancakes about as normal and didn't sell a thing.

It's almost like his title reign never happened.

Consequence and human reaction to traumatic events is something WWE need to do better in 2019. Becoming WWE Champ was Kofi's dream for over a decade, but that didn't come across on SmackDown. He was back to his old self without any tears.
