#2 Kingston couldn’t lose the title either
One could actually make a compelling case on why Kofi Kingston could have won the bout and hold both the Universal and WWE Title but no-one would be able to make sense of the decision of making Kingston lose his title just a little over 24 hours after winning it from Daniel Bryan.
Kofi Kingston vs Daniel Bryan was the best storyline on WrestleMania 35 as a lot of emotions and time was invested upon it. Kingston and the New Day had to go through a lot to win that title.
And to top it off, the biggest reason is the merchandise that Big E unveiled right after Kofi Kingston won the match. As long as Kingston holds the title, that t-shirt is going to sell.
So, making him lose the title would not only be a dent on the great storyline but also a huge hit to the merchandise sales that Kingston’s title reign promises.
