10 most emotional moments in WWE history

#9 KofiMania

The biggest feel-good moment of 2019

You’d have had to be living under a rock to have missed all the fanfare and hype that surrounded Kofi Kingston and his rise to the top after over a decade in the company.

Kofi was always seen as an extraordinary wrestler, and the company allowed him to win several Championships during his career. However, he never won ‘the big one’ even once in his career. After Mustafa Ali suffered an injury and was replaced by Kofi in an Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship, fans began to back up their favorite Superstar and went all out to demand the top title for him.

This allowed the company to build an emotional storyline involving one of their hottest factions, The New Day, and their leader, Kofi Kingston. Throughout his journey to the top, the company threw everything they had at him in order to make his journey even tougher.

This allowed his rise to the top to become one of the most emotional ones for the fans, as they believed that they were the reason he was getting his deserved push.

Finally, Kofi defeated Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35 to fulfill his lifelong dream and won the WWE Championship. The victory saw almost everyone in the ring and around break into tears as, as Big E and Xavier Woods hoisted their leader upon their shoulders to show the world what the moment meant to them.
