#2 Kofi Kingston earns a clean victory over Brock Lesnar
A clean victory over one of the biggest powerhouses in the industry could propel Kofi-Mania to new heights. There will be more eyeballs on the product than usual this Friday and WWE has a chance to paint Kofi in a very competitive light. More casual fans will already be familiar with Brock Lesnar thanks to his tenure atop the company and his reign as UFC Champion.
Despite currently holding the title, Kofi is the underdog in this bout, but a victory over Lesnar would be monumental for Kingston's career. If WWE is hoping to avoid a part-time champion on their new network home, then a clean Kofi Kingston victory is the way to go.
The company put the WWE Championship on Kingston for a reason. He is a skilled performer. Whether it’s his promos or his work in the ring, Kingston is a trusted veteran and wildly popular with the WWE Universe. Having Kofi defeat Brock Lesnar would build his credibility in the eyes of the casual viewer, adding legitimacy to his WWE Championship run.
