#1 Kofi Kingston is destined to win now
Mr. McMahon abused his authority on last week's SmackDown by taking away Kofi's shot at the WWE title. Tonight, Mustafa Ali got to showcase his skills by being added to the big match at the very last moment.

This irked the fans even more, as the fans were clearly pissed off at Kofi Kingston being excluded from the match. The triple threat match at Fastlane was met with a chorus of boos on multiple occasions, especially during the early moments of the match. WWE is starving the fans long enough that when Kofi Kingston finally wins the big one at WrestleMania 35, the moment will be met with a loud roar from the 80,000 fans in the stadium.
Kofi will surely get his chance at Mania, and his exclusion from tonight's match did nothing but help his cause going forward. As an added bonus, Ali got to show the fans that he is the future of the blue brand.
