The one superstar who benefited the most due to the Wild Card rule is Kofi Kingston. Kofi won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania after defeating Daniel Bryan. He achieved his eleven year-long dream and celebrated in the ring with his family, in what was the most emotionally rewarding moment of The Show of Shows. But as soon as he won the title, there was a subdued feeling that his journey had concluded.

The general feeling was that the title win provided him and the audience with a feel-good moment, and the WWE would take the belt off him as soon as his popularity dwindled. Although Kingston was still over with the crowd, the spark from journey to the win seemed to have disappeared.

However, this week Kofi started another journey, and successfully defended his championship on both shows. This seems to be promising sign, and could a long way in proving his detractors wrong. Kofi defeated three top guys in Bryan, Styles and Sami Zayn, and declared that KofiMania is still alive and well. Hence, Kofi Kingston is the biggest winner on this list.
