I am so glad they have plans for Kofi Kingston to have some sort of snap after losing his title. He can only fling pancakes for so long now that he is crushing them it’s the beginning of a NEW DAY for Kofi #SmackDownpic.twitter.com/Jo3UxCVr6X
Honestly speaking, it's a little sad to see a match like this on SmackDown but we'll accept it for what it is, at this point in time. The official proclamation is that ahead of the largest tag team turmoil match in history at WWE Crown Jewel, Kofi Kingston will team up with Big E to take on Dolph Ziggler and the glorious Robert Roode.
But if you read between the lines, it is an indication that Kofi Kingston will no longer be the same level of Superstar that he was. He will be stuck in the mid-card for the time being, and be a part of the tag team division, while Brock Lesnar gets all of the gold and glory.

Moreover, Xavier Woods will not be a part of this match owing to the fact that he sustained a crippling injury recently that has ruled him out for at least 9 months. But looking at the positives, this should be a great match between two great teams.
And at the end of the day, sometimes you just want some good pro wrestling action!
