5 Potential WrestleMania matches that Elimination Chamber has paved the way for

#1 Daniel Bryan (C) vs. Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship

Kofi proved he belonged in the WWE Championship scene this week.

This past week Kofi Kingston put on a fantastic showing in the Elimination Chamber match following an impressive hour-long performance in the gauntlet match. A week ago Kofi was aligned with the currently directionless New Day, and now he’s captured the hearts of WWE fans worldwide. After eleven long years, Kofi took the opportunity gifted to him after the unfortunate injury to Mustafi Ali and soared to new heights.

Kofi is arguably the most deserving Superstar on the roster of this opportunity, and the WWE Universe let it be known all week. What started as a replacement spot for an injured Superstar, has turned into an overnight sensation.

If the McMahon family are true to their word that they are going to listen to the WWE Universe, then this is the moment to prove it. The people have spoken.

Kofi Kingston electrified the building last night, bringing fans on their feet, breaking the status quo and bringing hope and excitement back to the product. WWE has failed to capitalize on Superstars' popularity and momentum in the past; they cannot afford to make the same mistake again.

As unlikely as it was last week, there’s no denying that Kofi Kingston should be the new #1 contender to Daniel Bryan’s throne. Kofi is a Superstar that has given everything to this company for over a decade, and the fans showed their appreciation in full last night. Rewarding him with a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania is best for business.
