One of the best feel good stories to come out of WWE in a long time is the elevation of Kofi Kingston, first to the main event and then to the 'big belt' which had eluded him for his entire WWE career.

The story had a satisfying conclusion when Kofi Kingston knocked off Daniel Bryan to capture the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35. However, that fairytale ending could be spoiled by the big man from Canada, Kevin Owens.

Owens had been Kofi's ally, even becoming an honorary member of the New Day while Big E recovered from an injury. However, it was all a ruse by the clever Owens, who turned on Kofi and gave him a vicious power bomb on the ring apron. When these bitter enemies collide, who will win?

Winner: Kofi Kingston

It's way too early in Kofi's reign to drop the belt, and Kevin Owens has just returned from injury and the WWE will want to test him and make sure he's fully recovered before putting any titles around his ample waist.
