5 WWE Rumors from this week you need to know (March 4th, 2019)

#2: Kofi change was last minute

Kingston had his spot against WWE Champion Daniel Bryan taken by Kevin Owens.

On the SmackDown Live before Elimination Chamber, Kofi Kingston impressed everyone with his tenacity in the gauntlet match.

And five days later, Kingston continued his impressive ways inside the satanic structure, and though he did not win, he did earn a one-on-one shot against Champion Daniel Bryan at Fastlane.

Last week though, Kingston was replaced by Mr. McMahon, in favor of Kevin Owens, who will now meet the Bearded warrior this Sunday.

According to Post Wrestling, the decision to replace Kingston with Owens was only made last week, and was not part of any long plans.

Whilst many, including the New Day star are devastated to see Kingston removed, many are hopeful that this will mean the Ghanaian star will meet Bryan for the gold at the next pay per view: WrestleMania.
