#4 Kofi Kingston to elevate heels of SmackDown as a singles wrestler

Kofi Kingston and Big E were working as tag team partners (even though they were already a tag team) since Xavier Woods left due to injury. They did a great job as Champions but, we'll be honest here, it felt like there's need for a change.

Before winning the Championship, Kingston was doing good as a singles wrestler. He would face new opponents every week and try his best to put over new talents. However, since he won the title with Big E, it felt like WWE had restricted him to the tag team card.

But now that The New Day have lost their titles to John Morrison and The Miz, it'll allow Kofi Kingston to focus on his singles career and work against top heels on SmackDown. He has lost a ton of momentum as compared to last year, and the company needs to build his credibility as a singles wrestler. He'll also help in putting over other heel talents on the Blue brand.
