WWE SmackDown: 3 things WWE cleverly told us through Randy Orton pinning Kofi Kingston

#2 Samoa Joe might be out of the WWE Championship picture

Samoa Joe and Elias

Frankly speaking, every wrestling fan might be feeling pretty sad for Samoa Joe as he hasn't been very smartly booked by WWE. Every title opportunity he gets, he is made to eat the pin and not only has that decreased his momentum but it also has made his character less believable.

Joe is known for playing mind games and making personal threats to his opponents but what good are those when he is meant to lose every match. That might be the case again as after losing to Kofi Kingston on Extreme Rules, Joe might be pushed down into the mid-card and will definitely be out of the WWE Championship picture.

#1 Kofi Kingston's feud with Randy Orton might be down to KofiMania's gradual downfall

KofiMania has lost a bit of momentum lately

Yes, there can't be any better reason for why WWE would book Randy Orton against Kofi Kingston. After WrestleMania 35, Kofi has defended his title against some premier WWE Superstars but for some reason, his title reign has felt a bit underwhelming.

Also, he isn't getting the same crowd support that he got in the build-up to WrestleMania 35 and its immediate aftermath. So, Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff might be hoping that Orton's experience might help in making Kofi's Championship reign gain momentum.

Orton is a very skilled performer and he knows how to draw reactions from the crowd. So you can see what WWE is trying to achieve with this feud and one really hopes that it will succeed.
