5 things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown Live (July 23rd, 2019)

#2. Kofi Kingston's story gets deeper

Kofi Kingston wants to erase the demons of the past

One of the reasons why fans were able to get behind Kofi Kingston so easily this past February and March is that the story told was simple yet deep and had multiple layers to it. Kingston has been an extremely strong, fighting WWE Champion and he now faces his biggest test yet in the form of a demon from the past - Randy Orton.

If you're not aware, we suggest you watch the segment. It was brilliant, intense and added more depth to Kofi Kingston's story, where he has to get redemption against the man who stalled his career through his influence.

This is going to present an extremely interesting challenge and it could be one of the best matches of the night at SummerSlam. We're glad that Kofi Kingston's story keeps getting deeper as his reign goes on.
