#1 Got it right: Kofi Kingston's celebration

There was only one way that last night's SmackDown Live could've kicked off, and that was with a huge party.

As the show opened, Big E and Xavier Woods amped up the crowd, before welcoming the new WWE Champion Kofi Kingston.

A title reign years in the making, it was good to see Kingston finally get his due at WrestleMania, defeating Daniel Bryan in an emotional contest.

Last night, Kingston thanked everyone who had supported him, in a genuine, speech, though one we've heard before.

His family being at ringside was a very nice touch, and Xavier's comments on how much the win means for them was particularly touching.

We never know when the Kingston reign will end (look at last night's RAW), but I for one am living in the moment of the Kofi era.
