WWE: 7 Candidates To Replace Seth Rollins In The Shield

4. Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston needs to be repackaged if he ever hopes to move past the rut he has been in for the past few years, and a partnership with Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose would be a great way to change up his character, even if it's a partnership that only lasts for a short time. Kofi has the skills to do all the crazy spots Seth Rollins used to provide in The Shield's matches, making him very suited to fill the gap left by Rollins' betrayal. Kofi would benefit more from joining the group instead of just a one-time partnership. He is popular enough with the crowd, but he needs a big push to really make people believe he can hang with the top tier talent. https://twitter.com/TrueKofi/status/473167932839575552 Kofi was recently targeted by Kane during Payback and the announcers were clear to point out that Kofi had spoken out against The Authority and this was probably his punishment for his tweets. This gives Kofi a legitimate beef with Stephanie McMahon, and by association. Triple H. Joining up with Reigns and Ambrose would give him a chance to get back at The Authority for sending Kane after him and it would give him a much-needed boost in exposure and momentum.
