3 Things that must happen on SmackDown Live (2/19/2019)
Alright, ladies and gentlemen. We are fresh off the heels of a surprisingly good WWE Elimination Chamber event that took place this past Sunday night, no less than 48 hours ago.
Last night on Monday Night RAW, we witnessed the debuts of four NXT Superstars for the RAW Brand, as many of your NXT favorites such as Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Aleister Black, and Ricochet all made their in-ring debuts for the main roster.
With that being said, what will we see take place tonight on SmackDown Live? Today, I talk about three things that must happen in order to ensure a successful follow up to the Elimination Chamber that also sets the stage for WWE Fastlane on March 10th. Keep in mind, these are in no particular order.
#1 - Kofi Kingston must continue his momentum and have a match against WWE Champion Daniel Bryan!
For over a week, New Day member Kofi Kingston has been the talk of the wrestling world. He went through a grueling 60+ minute Gauntlet Match on last week's SmackDown Live to earn a spot in the Elimination Chamber match to replace an injured Mustafa Ali.
At the Elimination Chamber PPV, Kingston had the WWE Universe at his fingertips when he came oh so close to becoming the new WWE Champion, as Kofi came within an eyelash of defeating the "new" Daniel Bryan. Even though Kingston came up short, he showed the world that he is more than deserving of having a run as the WWE Champion someday.
Now, having said that, what we must see happen tonight is Kofi Kingston get his WWE Championship opportunity. Bryan currently does not have an opponent for WrestleMania 35. I'm not saying that Kofi will face Bryan at the grandest stage of them all, however, it's quite possible that we could see a match booked between the two for tonight's show or better yet, as one of the headlining matches for WWE Fastlane on March 10th.
