3 WWE Superstars who asked to win a title and 3 who offered to lose a title

#2 Offered to lose a WWE title: Daniel Bryan

Kofi Kingston defeated Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35 to win the WWE Championship for the first time in his career.

The original plan was supposed to see the returning Kevin Owens challenge Bryan for the title at WWE’s biggest show of the year, but the “KofiMania” phenomenon proved extremely popular with fans in the build-up to WrestleMania.

Speaking on Corey Graves’ After The Bell podcast, Kingston revealed that Bryan pitched the idea of changing his ‘Mania opponent in order to give the New Day member his long-awaited WWE Championship moment.

“[Daniel Bryan] pushed for that to happen because the plans weren't for me to be at WrestleMania. I'm not sure who it was for Daniel to face but it wasn't me, and Daniel went in and went to bat for me, and for the situation for the title match between us to happen, so he had a big part in it, too.” [H/T Wrestling Inc.]

Owens, meanwhile, did not even compete in a match on the WrestleMania 35 card. Instead, he flew home to watch the event with his family before flying back to New York one day later for the next SmackDown taping.
