It's official, this is now the best angle in the company, leaving the Raw women's title mess far in the dust.

Last week, Vince McMahon gave Kofi Kingston an impossible task. If he won a gauntlet match, he'd get his title shot at WrestleMania. Kingston did just that, surviving grueling matches with Sheamus and Cesaro, a beatdown by Rowan, the onslaught of Samoa Joe, and the cunning of Randy Orton.

After a celebration, Vince McMahon changed the goalposts at the last minute and demanded Kofi Kingston beat Daniel Bryan. He didn't.

WWE's swerves are usually terrible, but this one wasn't. This is the right kind of heat, and it's now a certainty that Kofi Kingston is going to walk out of WrestleMania as champion. He just needs to get there with little time left.

It's edge of your seat stuff and it's WWE at its finest. Too bad things can't always be this way.
