WWE Crown Jewel 2019: 10 Things That Must Happen

6. Then Kofi Kingston Treats It Like A Joke

There has to be a reason why Kofi hasn't shown any sadness since losing the WWE Title to Brock Lesnar. Perhaps it's generous, but this fan has to believe that the writers know penning him as an oblivious buffoon sh*ts all over a story they spent most of 2019 telling. Could they build towards an extension of that tale?

At Crown Jewel, after Kingston and Big E win the bumper Turmoil melee, Kofi should stare awkwardly at the cup and how his pal is celebrating like it means everything. Then, as the announcers question why he's acting so strangely, the smile could evaporate from Kingston's face as he strolls away from E looking disappointed.

Tease, tease, tease.

Every fallen champion needs something to fall back on, and this story would hint that some international exhibition match isn't enough to placate Kofi anymore. He's been to the top of the mountain, tasted the best, and now he can't settle for less.
