Kofi Kingston overcame all the odds stacked against him to emerge as the new WWE Champion of Vince McMahon's wrestling promotion at WrestleMania 35. The fans were madly behind the New Day member and the creative team pushed him all out to please the fans.

However, a lot of members of the WWE Universe are now complaining that Kofi is not able to carry himself as a champion. Well, this problem is not new as a lot of babyfaces have been red hot while in pursuit of the title, but once they capture the championship, the audience backs out.

WWE's falling ratings are also a sign that the champion is not drawing the audience towards their shows. The Kevin Owens heel turn was also something that the fans saw coming from miles away.

Thus, in order to save SmackDown Live, WWE Creative needs to pull up their socks and add some shock value to the title feud. They can finally split up the New Day by having Big E turn on his brothers at Money in the Bank, joining forces with Kevin Owens.

Here are 5 reasons why Big E should turn heel.


#5 Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods surprised Big E by replacing him in the group

How dare they!
How dare they!

It is a known fact that Big E is currently injured, as he was brutally hurt during the six-man tag team match on the SmackDown episode after WrestleMania 35. It has been reported that Big E will be cleared to return at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

Thus, WWE could perfectly cash-in (pun intended) on Big E's return and have him betray his brothers for replacing him in the group. Kofi and Woods had included Big O in the New Day as Big E's replacement, and this would anger anyone, even a loyal friend. So, WWE can add this background to the storyline and finally end the New Day.

#4 Big E can be Kevin Owens' new sidekick

Let me take you back to 2012. Dolph Ziggler won the Money in the Bank briefcase and then formed a kind of heel faction with girlfriend AJ Lee and Big E. Big E used to be the muscle of the faction who destroyed each and every roadblock in Ziggler's rise to the top.

This angle always generates nuclear heat for the heel even in 2019! We saw how Daniel Bryan became a more hated man by aligning himself with Rowan.

Kevin Owens and Big E can just join that list, and Owens can become the next top heel of the blue brand. With his splendid mic skills and the ability to portray himself as a coward, Owens can definitely have a stellar WWE Championship reign. Also, this will freshen up things on SmackDown.

#3 This will add a new dimension to Kevin Owens' character

Kevin Owens has been portrayed as a guy who befriends another superstar only for his own benefits and when the right time comes, he ends his friendship. However, a giant sidekick thing is something the Prizefighter has never had in his career. I mean, it will be impossible for him to turn on Big E (remember he had not betrayed his sidekick Sami Zayn), the giant sidekick!

Thus, a turn from Owens' side is something the audience will not expect. In fact, the former Universal Champion can himself be betrayed for the first time if Big E decides to turn on him. This whole storyline has a lot of potentials if WWE books it in the right manner.

Not only will this add a new dimension to Kevin Owens, but ultimately, it will also transform Big E into the next monster heel of the men's division.

#2 Generate the much-needed shock value

The last time we saw the live audience in total disbelief was when Vince McMahon decided to replace Kofi Kingston with Kevin Owens in the WWE Championship at WWE Fastlane. SmackDown should deliver the audience a much-needed shock at Money in the Bank.

New Day has been a long-standing unit despite rumors emerging time and again that WWE has decided to split them up. Thus, New Day's end will be a fantastic way to generate shock value. Big E can completely shatter Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods (if he is fit) after Kevin Owens walks away with the championship.

The fans will be very excited to see if Kingston is granted another opportunity at the title or what explanation Big E has for turning on his brothers. This will boost the ratings in the end.

#1 A babyface chasing the title is always interesting to watch

The problem with WWE currently is that all of their top tier champions are faces. You have Seth Rollins as the Universal Champion, Kofi Kingston as the WWE Champion, and Becky Lynch as the RAW and SmackDown women's champion. Thus, all the storylines seem monotonous to the WWE Universe.

Focusing on the men's championships, the creative team will not take the Universal title off Rollins immediately, hence, Kofi Kingston will have to sacrifice his title reign for the sake of the ratings. Once Kevin Owens captures the WWE Championship, WWE can have either Kofi Kingston chase the title once again, or they can have stars like Ali, Finn Balor, or even the Big Dog run behind the title.

WWE can finish off the Kofi Kingston storyline by having him lose his rematch in Saudi Arabia and then allow Roman Reigns to enter the title picture. Reigns vs Big E could be announced for Extreme Rules with the stipulation that if Reigns wins he makes it to the championship match at SummerSlam. Roman and Owens can then tear the house down at the Biggest Party of the Summer.

Vince McMahon knows how to get the Big Dog over, so we should not be sad at all to see Roman's return to the main event picture. After all, he is the guy who brings in the ratings.
