It's now or never for Kofi Kingston

3 steps to crowning Kofi Kingston the WWE Champion

Kofi Kingston is a name every single diehard wrestling fan knows by now. Whether you watch WWE or not, Kofi has been a long-serving member of the WWE roster who has earned a name and a fanbase for himself all around the globe.

He is a four-time Intercontinental Champion, a three-time United States Champion and an eight-time world tag team champion. His second Raw Tag Team Championship reign as a part of The New Day is the longest reign for any tag team title in WWE history and Kofi himself holds the record for cumulative days spent as a Tag Team Champion within WWE.

This alone is proof that there are only a few who can match up to the superstar. However, what’s disappointing is that Kofi has never won a single’s world championship, and that should change sooner than later as the man deserves a chance to hold one of the two top prizes in WWE.

#3 Kofi Kingston demands his match for the title

Kofi Kingston walked into Fastlane excited and was even more excited when he was summoned by The McMahons.

Kofi, and a portion of the fans, believed that maybe he will become a part of the match for the WWE Championship which was originally planned for Kevin Owens and Daniel Bryan, but the same wasn’t the case.

Instead, Vince booked him in a handicap match against The Bar under rules that both Sheamus and Cesaro could battle in the ring at the same time.

Kofi’s resistance was good but he couldn’t beat the two men. Kofi could walk out on Tuesday night on SmackDown and demand a match for the title for the night as he deserves to get a shot at the title after pinning Bryan a few of weeks back.

#2 Vince McMahon sets up a qualification match

Vince McMahon answers Kofi Kingston the same night and offers him a match if he is up for the challenge. Vince McMahon is known to act as a heel and pile up the odds against a babyface and fan favorite. Kofi could use that treatment to his advantage at this point in his career.

The match McMahon sets up is between Kofi and The Bar once again, but this time with high stakes. If Kofi wins, he gets his dream match for WrestleMania to face Daniel Bryan one-on-one for the WWE Championship.

However, if The Bar defeats Kofi, they get a match against The Usos for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships.

With such high stakes, both parties deliver their absolute best but Kofi manages to score a win over the former Tag Team Champions to earn his chance to face Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania, shocking both Vince McMahon and the WWE Universe.

#1 Kofi Kingston gets his WrestleMania moment

Just like Daniel Bryan got his championship match at WrestleMania 30 against all odds and defeated Triple H, followed by a win against Randy Orton and Batista in the same night to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Kofi Kingston too can make history.

Kofi has never gotten a one-on-one match for the biggest prize in WWE, nor has he ever headlined a pay-per-view event in a singles match. An opponent like Daniel Bryan would be perfect for Kofi to defeat and have his moment of glory, as Bryan would know how it feels to not be able to get the chances that he deserves.

If Kofi is ever going to win the WWE Championship, then now is the time and this is the perfect moment for the member of The New Day to win the title and get what he has long deserved in the company.
