3 matches that could make WrestleMania 35 a must watch

#2 Daniel Bryan vs Kofi Kingston - WWE Championship match

A rapid rise in popularity of Kofi Kingston after his magnificent gauntlet match performance led to the renaissance of his singles career. He replaced injured Mustafa Ali in the gauntlet match which happened just a week before Elimination Chamber and performed admirably.

His performance garnered appreciation from all quarters and subsequently, he was included in the 6-man Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship.

In the Elimination Chamber match, Kofi Kingston put on another memorable show as he lasted till the end before eventually losing to Daniel Bryan. Kofi had numerous falls count opportunities during the climax moments of the match, which kept the WWE Universe thoroughly engaged. The crowd kept chanting for Kofi in unison and hoped for an unlikely win for the veteran superstar.

Despite losing that match, Kofi was given a title match opportunity against Daniel Bryan at the Fastlane PPV. But Vince McMahon on the recent episode of SmackDown Live removed Kofi Kingston from that match and replaced him with a returning Kevin Owens.

It looks like we are going to get another underdog story going into WrestleMania 35 involving Kofi Kingston. At this point in time, Kofi is incredibly over with the WWE Universe and seems like the best possible challenger for the WWE Championship. This match can certainly steal the show if WWE books it for WrestleMania 35.
