#5. Kofi Kingston may never become a World Champion again
Kofi Kingston's fairytale journey towards capturing his maiden WWE Championship and the subsequent reign will be remembered for years. However, it may end up being Kingston's only taste of World Championship glory.
As revealed by Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue on the most recent Dropkick DiSKussions podcast, WWE has no plans to get Kofi Kingston back in the main event scene for a while.
WWE may never book Kofi Kingston to be a World Champion again
Tom also revealed that the company had no plans to give The New Day Member another run with a World Title. WWE officials never intended to keep Kofi in the main event scene after he lost the WWE title to Brock Lesnar, and that's what has happened.
Here's what Tom revealed on the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast:
Kofi Kingston was a very powerful draw for a long time, and The New Day, in general, have that drawing power. Now to have them on neither, is very interesting. That said, RAW was owed a couple of trades, and they are very very lacking on the tag division. There is no plan to have Kofi Kingston in the main event of either show for a while yet, if ever again. So it would be the tag division he would go to, if he was to move. Even while Kofi Kingston was the WWE Champion, there were no plans to give him a second reign. There were no plans to keep him in the main event after he lost that title, and that's exactly what happened. The second he lost that belt, it was over. It is a crying shame to take someone that talented and drop him off the face of the earth.
