Kofi Kingston made history at the Showcase of Immortals by winning the WWE Championship for the first time in his career. The New Day member has been part of Vince McMahon's billion dollar company for 11 years, but this was his maiden World Title.
Kofi toiled hard to reach the top of the ladder in his career. With Vince McMahon's involvement in the WWE World Title storyline, Kofi had to conquer insurmountable tasks. Earlier, he was removed from the title match at Fastlane. Despite winning the Gauntlet match, he was punished by the Chairman.
Fans have been behind Kofi in this remarkable journey. Besides Becky Lynch, Kingston has attained gigantic popularity in the last few months. Kingston already decided to defend the WWE Title on the RAW after WrestleMania, and he is expected to be a fighting champion.

#3 Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn is undeniably a great choice to face Kofi Kingston at Money in the Bank. Zayn did not take part at the Showcase of Immortals as he was sidelined due to an injury, but he came back on the RAW after WrestleMania. Surprisingly, Zayn got a title shot for the Intercontinental Championship, but Finn Balor defeated him. Zayn subsequently appeared on SmackDown Live too.
Although Zayn had notable success in NXT, he could not replicate it on the main roster. Vince McMahon's billion dollar company signed Zayn in 2013, and he offered some astounding bouts. Other than winning the NXT Title, he also won the NXT Superstar of the Year award.
Without a shadow of a doubt, Zayn is a crowd puller, and he could be a top guy if he is booked well. There is no denying that the former NXT Champion is dexterous in the squared circle. Moreover, he returned as a heel this week, and he could make a great rivalry with Kofi Kingston who is the current biggest babyface of the blue brand.
#2 Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan is not a surprising entrant here as he lost the WWE Title at the Show of Shows. Bryan had a lengthy reign as the WWE Champion after he won the belt last year. Considering Bryan did not show up on SmackDown Live this week, he might ask for a rematch when he will appear on the blue brand.
There is no denying that the rivalry between Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston was one of the best storylines of WrestleMania 35. The feud indeed provoked interest in the WWE Universe, and Bryan established himself as the top heel on SmackDown Live. Considering the impressive feud, Vince McMahon might decide to renew this rivalry after the Show of Shows.
Kofi and Bryan are proficient in the ring, and they offered one of the best bouts of the Showcase of Immortals this year. Their match lasted over 23 minutes, and it was the second longest match of the show. The two men could produce another mind-boggling bout if the Bryan gets a rematch at Money in the Bank.
#1 Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre shocked everyone when he appeared on SmackDown Live this week. Following a colossal battle against Roman Reigns at the Show of Shows, McIntyre skipped the RAW after WrestleMania, but he showed up on the blue brand which suggests he could be heading to SmackDown Live after Superstar Shake-Up. As a matter of fact, McIntyre went on to main-event the show this week.
McIntyre gained considerable momentum in the last few weeks. The Scottish Psychopath dismantled two-thirds of The Shield before being pinned by Roman Reigns at the Grandest Stage of Them All. It is no secret McIntyre established himself as one of the biggest heels of the red brand in last one year, and he might be looking forward to continuing his dominance if he moves to SmackDown Live.
McIntyre is definitely World Championship material. Since the Scottish Psychopath already had some bouts with the Universal Champion Seth Rollins, a rivalry with Kofi Kingston could be a fresh feud for the WWE Universe.
