Kofi will have a hard time next week on SmackDown
WWE has got a golden goose in the form of Kofi Kingston. He was just another mid-carder a month ago. His performances in the Gauntlet Match and the Chamber Match suddenly skyrocketed him to the top, with the fans chanting his name and wanting him to finally win the big one.

As usually is the case, Vince McMahon doesn't like underdogs. Tonight, he made it clear that he doesn't believe one bit that Kofi could ever become a main event player. In homage to Daniel Bryan's Yes Movement storyline from 2014, Vince told Kofi that he is nothing but a good B+ player.

Vince proceeded to inform Kofi that he will be running the gauntlet one more time on next week's SmackDown, facing the likes of Orton, Joe, The Bar and Rowan. It would be interesting to see how Kofi will manage to beat these incredible odds.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
