WWE 2019: 5 images that define the year

#2 KofiMania

One of the best title feuds heading into this year's WrestleMania was between Kofi Kingston and the contemporary WWE Champion Daniel Bryan. The New Day member perfectly portrayed the role of an underdog en route to the grandest stage of sports entertainment, who valiantly fought against all the odds that were hurdled up against him.

Kofi Kingston, a constant of the WWE for the last 11 years, never got to hold any World Championship of the promotion. In fact, he never even received a one-on-one match for the top-tier title. So when it looked like that he was going to get a shot at Daniel Bryan's WWE Championship, the fans also came to the support of Kingston. They gave birth to the KofiMania movement to boost his momentum, just like they had done in 2014 to rally with Daniel Bryan.

After a back-and-forth encounter, Kofi Kingston went on to defeat Bryan and win the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35 and in the process, once again showcased how popular support can change the career of any WWE talent. Kingston's victory proved that dreams do come true in WWE and all one needs to do is utilize the opportunity.
