This symbolic image will come into play soon

There's just not a better option at the moment. The sudden surge in Kingston's popularity has forced WWE to listen to the sea of fans that were chanting his name at the Elimination Chamber PPV, as well as the ones pulling for him on social media since the past several weeks.

Now that we know Kofi's not going to be competing against Daniel Bryan at the Fastlane PPV for the WWE title, this certainly means that Kofi Kingston is being prepped by the WWE for bigger and better things.

Prepare to witness a month-long build-up to WrestleMania, kicking off after Fastlane. The planet's champion will face off against the biggest underdog in recent history at the grandest stage of them all.

Kofi Kingston will get his long-awaited shot at the title at WrestleMania 35, and the fans will finally get to see a fairytale ending to the Kingston saga.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
