5 Things WWE has secretly told us about Kofi Kingston's WrestleMania 35 journey
If there's a momentous time for WWE to genuinely push the envelope for possibly the greatest WrestleMania of all time, it is right now.
Vince McMahon's billion dollar company is in a very favorable position, with the creative team producing some of the finest storylines in recent memory, especially the ones involving Becky Lynch and Kofi Kingston.
While Roman Reigns and Batista's return have caught worldwide attention, it is Kofi's underdog journey and willingness to hold the WWE Championship for once, that has the entire WWE Universe rooting for the 37-year old veteran.
Highly regarded as Mr. Royal Rumble, it's highly impressive to see Kingston being in such a prime position today, with the company reportedly locking him for a slugfest against 'The New' Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35.
With The New Day's elite member now rumored to have the biggest match of his career at the Grandest Stage of Them All, one wonders how this all will pan out, especially after the recent inclusion of Kevin Owens.
There's no denying that all the fans are riding high on the bandwagon of 'Kofi Mania', and with the company likely to maximize their investment in the former Intercontinental Champion, will Kofi finally realize his dream at MetLife Stadium?
Here are 5 things WWE are secretly telling us about Kofi Kingston's Road to WrestleMania 35
#1 The same story was supposed to impel Mustafa Ali to the top
There's absolutely no denying that Mustafa Ali possesses the same mannerisms, character, and substance, as the former Intercontinental Champion, Kofi Kingston.
Considering that Ali suffered an unfortunate eye injury during his jaw-dropping encounter with Randy Orton, the Heart of 205 Live was coerced out of action from the WWE Championship match at the Elimination Chamber.
Out goes Mustafa, in comes Kofi Kingston. The 37-year old veteran instantly replaced Mustafa in the Gauntlet match and literally brought the house down with his undeniable athletic prowess.
The fans were left amazed with the way the creative team presented Kofi that night and his excellent performance ascended his credibility heading into Elimination Chamber.
Since being an iron man in such situations always works, it's understandable that the same spots and ascension was planned for Mustafa Ali.
While it's unfortunate that Ali was sidelined from in-ring action, Kingston's valor and heart came on full display in the Gauntlet match and was a pivotal role in stunning the entire complexion of the WWE Championship scene on the blue brand.
