#4 Kofi At His Peak

This man is just exceptional.

Say what you want about the silliness of The New Day, and how pathetic they are portrayed these days, but one can't argue with the ability, presence, charisma of one man in that group and that is Kofi Kingston. Now just because Kofi lasted one hour in the gauntlet match to determine who would enter last in the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match, means that he is 'now' a great competitor.

No, the truth is that Kofi was ALWAYS an exceptional wrestler, from his days as a surfing loving Jamaican to his days in makeshift tag teams, this is a man that is possibly the most underrated star in the WWE for such a long time. And while we see WWE use him properly on certain occasions, he should be getting a push that could see him ascend the ranks of WWE.

Moreover, Kingston performance in this match was really entertaining, as some the battles he had in there with Daniel Bryan, Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles showcased his ability as a performer to sell emotion to a crowd. While he may not win the WWE TItle at the Elimination Chamber, at least we got to see the best Kofi this week on Smackdown Live.
