#2 Replacing Kofi Kingston with Kevin Owens for the WWE Title Match at Fastlane?
Vince McMahon is directly responsible for two major decisions in the past few weeks, first, suspending Becky Lynch well beyond WrestleMania 35, and replacing her with Charlotte Flair for the RAW Womens' Title Match at the Grandest Stage of them all; second, Replacing Kofi Kingston with Kevin Owens for the WWE Title Match at Fastlane.
The question remains, why?
There are several reasons behind the character, Vince McMahon's motivations behind each and every decision. His character is often associated with having an agenda against superstars who defy authority, so the Becky Lynch situation can be explained directly.
However, the turn of events that occurred last night focus on different aspects of the character, Vince McMahon. We know he likes to feature main-event worthy superstars when it comes to big matches, and Kofi is not what McMahon has in mind by default.
Therefore, he chose to rob Kofi of a WWE Title shot, and even if this story will play out in Kofi's favour sooner or later, it is apparent that Vince McMahon's on-screen character is inclined to believe that Kofi Kingston is not a main-event level superstar.
Another theory, which is way more serious than any other explanation, is the lack of long-term black champions who made a huge impact throughout the company's history. Do you see where I am going with this?
While I am not talking about Vince McMahon in real-life, it seems as if this particular segment hinted towards a character trait that his fictional persona has embodied all along, that is, the on-screen portrayal of Vince McMahon (the character) suggests some racial undertones...
