#4 Kofi Kingston
What happens when Elias meets the power of positivity? Although it's probably not the most interesting question that can be asked when examining the SmackDown roster, it is at least a chance for Kofi Kingston to regain some much needed momentum. It is also a chance for Kingston's positivity to go up against Elias' stone cold one liners, which could make for some great zingers.
Elias is fantastic on the microphone and has proven that in segment after segment. He knows how to pull at the strings of the WWE Universe and get any reaction out of them that he wants. Contrast that with Kingston and how over he still is as a babyface and you have something special that can flourish in the mid-card.
It gives Kingston a chance to build up a string of victories as a singles Superstar. It also gives him an antagonist and should have no problem keeping the crowd on his side. Maybe it's a step down for Kingston, especially after being WWE Champion, but WWE needs to start building him up again and Elias might be the perfect Superstar to help do that.
