If Kingston is booked to lose the title he fought so hard for at the first PPV after WrestleMania, then WWE will have made a huge mistake. The crowd is firmly entrenched behind Kingston just as they were behind Daniel Bryan during the latter's ascent to the main event at WrestleMania 30.

To take the title off of him so soon would probably do more damage to both the title and Kingston after they spent the better part of three months building up his story. For those reasons, I cannot see him losing the title any time soon, but it doesn't mean that he can't be involved in some good storylines over the title.

Kevin Owens has already betrayed the New Day, so the next challenger can't say that Kingston's winning of the title was a fluke if he tops Owens at MITB. Who will be the next person to try to take Kingston's dream away from him? Elias? Andrade? Randy Orton? Someone closer to him? Depending on how creative the WWE wants to get, they could have some great feuds for Kofi Kingston as the top guy on SmackDown.
