5 Possible reasons why Kofi Kingston appeared on Monday Night Raw alone 

#3. Teasing a split between The New Day

Are WWE teasing a split between The New Day?

Ever since Kofi Kingston became WWE Champion there has been talk about The New Day splitting and going their separate ways, after all Big E will want a shot at that title in the future and their friendship may not be able to withstand that sort of pressure.

WWE has teased it over and over and recent interviews between The New Day and other outside journalists have always covered the same ground. This could easily have been WWE's way of continuing to tease a split, since Kofi Kingston now knows that he's able to defend the biggest Championship in WWE on his own on enemy soil.

Whether this will lead to any kind of backlash from Woods tonight on SmackDown remains to be seen, but it's allowed Kingston to prove he's a worthy Champion.
