5 times WWE listened to the fans in 2019

#3 Kofimania

the fans were behind Kofi Kingston every step of the way!

It's no secret that Kofi Kingston never really got the opportunities he deserved throughout his WWE career. But all that seemed to change in 2019. In fact, Kofi Kingston went from just a member of The New Day to one of the biggest rising Superstars of the year and the company capped it all off with him winning the WWE Title from Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania.

Think about it this way. Ten years ago, this kind of storyline wouldn't have been possible and they would have never considered Kingston to be a top talent. Now that doesn't mean he wasn't a great athlete and an excellent performer, but his shoddy microphone skills and his overall look kept him out of the main title picture.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

All that changed however a few years later when Kingston joined forces with Big E Langston and Xavier Woods to form The New Day. While the group was originally pegged as a family-friendly jobber gimmick, the three Superstars quickly used their outrageous antics, great work on the microphone, and the power of positivity to win fans over.

Of course, none of this would have been possible if it wasn't for the fans staying behind him, but it was the company that finally capitalized on that momentum. In the end, the result was a polarizing vortex of positivity that captivated the WWE, gave a Superstar the nod he deserved years ago, and served as the ultimate underdog story.
