5 Reasons why Kevin Owens replacing Kofi Kingston at Fastlane is a big mistake

#4 Kofi Kingston's momentum going into Fastlane

Think about all the momentum Kofi Kongston had going into Fastlane. He was one of the hottest stars on SmackDown, with an ultimate underdog storyline which could have made his entire WWE career successful.

Since replacing an injured Mustafa Ali in the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship, the momentum has constantly been shifting towards Kingston.

He put a tremendous performance in the gauntlet match, competing for more than an hour and eliminating some of the biggest stars of the blue brand which included Samoa Joe, Jeff Hardy and even WWE Champion Daniel Bryan.

He was the last superstar to be eliminated inside the Chamber, lasting nearly half an hour and eliminating another big star, Randy Orton. After this event, Kingston pinned Bryan again on SmackDown to earn a WWE title shot for Fastlane.

With all of this momentum, WWE should have utilized this opportunity at Fastlane but instead they had to replace Kingston because this match was not worthy enough to main event a pay-per-view.
