5 reasons Brock Lesnar will cash in his Money in the Bank contract on Kofi Kingston

The confrontation

At Money In The Bank, Brock Lesnar took the wrestling world by storm after he supposedly attacked Sami Zayn and inserted himself in the Men's Money In The Bank Ladder match at the very last moment.

As a hopeful Ali was about to grab the briefcase, Lesnar's music hit and he came running down the ramp. Ali was no match to Lesnar's sheer power, and the PPV ended with The Beast securing the briefcase as an astonished crowd watched.

On Monday Night Raw, Lesnar was confronted by Universal Champion Seth Rollins and WWE Champion Kofi Kingston. The segment ended without a decision being made, and Triple H put the two champions in a tag team match.

After the duo won the main event, out came Lesnar and Heyman. The two circled the ring and Brock teased a fight, but backed down at the last moment. Next week on Raw, Brock Lesnar is going to choose which champion he will cash in on. Let's take a look at 5 reasons why that champion will be Kofi Kingston.

#5 We've seen enough of Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar

Although WWE did a great job of promoting Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title at WrestleMania 35, the fact remains that we had already seen the two Superstars face off multiple times in the past.

Rollins competed in a Triple Threat match for the WWE World Heavyweight Title at Royal Rumble 2015, against John Cena and Brock Lesnar, with The Beast managing to retain his title. At WrestleMania 31, Seth cashed in his contract in the main event of Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar, winning the title in the process.

Months later, he battled Brock in a singles match, and retained the title after The Undertaker came back to wrap up some unfinished business with Lesnar. Then, Rollins made quick work of Lesnar at WrestleMania 35, thanks to a low blow.

It's about time WWE moves on from this rivalry and give us something fresh, and this is one of the major reasons why Brock won't be choosing Rollins this Monday.

#4 Kofi Kingston recently teased a possible rivalry against Brock Lesnar

After the Money In The Bank PPV was done and dusted with, Kofi Kingston took to Twitter and expressed his elation over defeating Kevin Owens to retain his WWE Title. The victory cemented Kofi as a legit champion and not someone who got lucky at The Show of Shows.

Later, Kofi posted another tweet after Lesnar shocked everyone to end the PPV. The cryptic tweet had a slight hint at the fact that Kofi would be ready to face The Beast, if and when the time comes. The tweet made even more sense when Kofi confronted Lesnar on Monday Night Raw.

He made it clear that he wasn't afraid to go toe to toe with arguably the most dangerous athlete in WWE today. The subtle message in Kingston's tweet is definitely hinting at Lesnar choosing him over Rollins.

#3 Provides an interesting scenario for Super ShowDown

According to various sources, WWE is all set to announce a rematch from WrestleMania 35 for its Saudi Arabia show, Super ShowDown. Seth Rollins is rumored to face Brock Lesnar and will be defending his Universal Title. Although WWE hasn't officially announced the match yet, it's just a matter of time before it does. These two Superstars aren't on the card right now, but are advertised for the show.

Now WWE could simply let Lesnar announce Rollins as his opponent on the upcoming Raw, or we could get some added drama.

Lesnar will choose Kofi on the upcoming Raw, but won't disclose the time and place for the cash in. WWE will announce Rollins vs Lesnar for Super ShowDown as a rematch of their WrestleMania 35 encounter, if the rumors hold any weight.

A likely scenario for WWE Super ShowDown will see Lesnar somehow fail to reclaim the Universal Title from Seth Rollins, and then go on to interfere in Kofi's match against Dolph Ziggler. Lesnar's interference will lead to a DQ, and he'll immediately cash in his briefcase on the fallen Kingston.

#2 A slow buildup for Lesnar's move to SmackDown Live

It's no secret that SmackDown Live is all set to move to FOX in October this year. Rumor has it that WWE is doing its best to make the show mean more than it ever has, once it switches to FOX. Bringing in Roman Reigns was the first step. While promoting SmackDown Live, FOX mentioned that Brock Lesnar would be seen on the blue brand.

What better way to kick off Lesnar's move to SmackDown Live by pitting him against the WWE Champion? This slow buildup could possibly see Roman Reigns cost Brock Lesnar the WWE Title against Kofi Kingston, resuming their unfinished rivalry from last year. A victory over Brock Lesnar would be the biggest win of Kofi's career and will help WWE create a legit main eventer.

Lesnar is known for skipping way more Raw episodes than he appears on. Let him do the same with SmackDown and keep teasing a revenge angle on Roman Reigns. Finally, the debut episode of SmackDown on FOX would see Lesnar make an appearance, setting up a match with Reigns at Survivor Series.

#1 A fresh rivalry

As we have already discussed, Brock Lesnar vs Seth Rollins is nothing we haven't seen before. On the other hand, Kofi Kingston taking on The Beast is something the WWE Universe has yet to witness. Although there are a bunch of us who wouldn't give Kofi a shred of a chance, they should go back and watch Brock's matches with Finn Balor, AJ Styles, and Daniel Bryan.

Lesnar is capable of having good matches if his opponents are small and agile. Kofi Kingston has proved time and again that he is quite possibly the most exciting high-flyer in the past decade, and has given consistently good matches over the course of his entire career. Not only will this be a fresh rivalry, but we would also get to see Lesnar have a longer match, and a good one at that.
