WWE SmackDown: 4 things WWE got just right on this week’s episode (September 3, 2019)

#3 Showed Kofi as a real underdog without his brothers

Kofi Kingston showed up as the underdog at the beginning of the year and left WrestleMania 35 as a truly deserving first-time WWE Champion. Since then, Kofi has managed to defend his title against the biggest threats in WWE, with a little help from his New Day brothers, of course.

Randy Orton has now emerged as Kofi’s biggest threat to date, and with the Revival, has managed to stack up the odds against Kofi for the first time in his reign by taking out his brothers Big E and Xavier Woods.

This story seems to be a great one as WWE is taking everything away from Kofi once again and building him as a huge underdog very convincing even at this point in his career. Not only is the build-up helping the story between Orton and Kofi, but also do wonders for the story between Big E & Woods and The Revival even without their actual interference in the matter since the past couple of weeks.

All we can hope for now is that the creatives will have a great ending for this story in store.
