#4 The Kofi Show in the 2019 Elimination Chamber match

At the 2019 Royal Rumble, Daniel Bryan held onto his WWE Championship. Many expected him to walk away with an Elimination Chamber win ahead of WrestleMania 35 too, but Kofi Kingston almost threw a spanner in the works.

Five days before the WWE Title Elimination Chamber match, a six-man gauntlet match between Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton, Samoa Joe, and Mustafa Ali decided who would enter the chamber last. Sadly, Ali was replaced at the last minute through injury, and Kofi Kingston took his place.

During the Chamber match itself, it was the Kofi Kingston show. He had the full backing of the WWE Universe and managed to make it to the end of the match to go one-on-one with the champion after shockingly eliminating Randy Orton. Despite some close nearfalls and some brazen offense, Bryan walked away as Champion, but Kofi was made a star that night.

The Rated R Superstar, Edge, kicked off the night at No Way Out in 2009, defending his WWE Championship against some of the most enormous titans in WWE history: Triple H, The Undertaker, Jeff Hardy, Big Show, and Vladimir Kozlov.

Shockingly, the Champion was eliminated within just a few minutes of entering the match. Known for being the Ultimate Opportunist, Edge wouldn't let this destroy his path to WrestleMania and had a cunning plan in mind.

Later in the night, John Cena defended his World Heavyweight Championship inside the Elimination Chamber. When Kofi Kingston was ready to enter the match, he was blindsided by The Rated R Superstar, who stole his spot in the contest.

In the end, Edge left the WWE Universe needing to pick their jaws up off the floor as he won the match, winning a different title to the one that he arrived at the event with.
