There's another reason to justify Kofi Kingston dethroning Bobby Lashley. With WWE entering the post-ThunderDome era starting this week, a lot of things are going to change. This could include the overall direction of the product and Kingston might benefit from the circumstances, even in the short run.

The WWE Championship picture between February and June involved only Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre, with Braun Strowman making his presence briefly before his release.

Kingston was close to contention but only officially entered the main picture after McIntyre lost to Lashley again. A big shake-up is needed on RAW, particularly in the main event scene.

Bobby Lashley certainly belongs at the top-tier level, but WWE may decide that a change is more important than investing more in The All Mighty. As a result, WWE could pull off a swerve and have Kofi Kingston dethrone him clean.

It may not even be a long-term reign for Kingston. He could unfortunately be another transitional Champion like The Miz was this year to build upon another superstar.
