They did Kofi Kingston dirty as HELL.All for Cain Velasquez and Brock Lesnar to stare each other down for the remaining minutes. BRUHHH #SmackDown#WWEOnFOXpic.twitter.com/NrHVNqwJau
The ascent of Kofi Kingston from the mid-card to the top of the food chain was a spectacular story. All fairytales must come to an end, but they should come to an end in a meaningful manner and not a squash like this was.
The basic problem with the show, which you'll hear repeated several times through the course of this piece is that there was too much planned for too short a time frame overall. And this resulted in everything being rushed and nothing being concluded within the time frame.
It's a funny thing that many people believed that it would be AEW who would struggle with timings on their debut television program. However it was a well-paced show in my opinion, from start to finish.
In any case, I'm sure somewhere Kofi Kingston is fuming at how his reign came to an end.
