As of writing, Kofi Kingston hasn't gone absolutely f*cking spare and battered Brock Lesnar in a revenge attack for the humiliation he suffered on the first edition of SmackDown on Fox.

The New Day man had audiences weeping for his win at WrestleMania earlier that year, and whilst some of his decidedly midcard title matches left fans bored to tears in the months that followed, he deserved far better than the nine second squash he was made to endure when he lost it.

WWE appears to revel in the disappointment of its audience sometimes - this was one of the most recent completely criminal examples.
