Kofi Kingston had a great night on the latest edition of WWE RAW. The New Day member picked up a victory over Randy Orton, and he unexpectedly popped up during the main event of the show.

WWE Champion Bobby Lashley teased an open challenge to anyone except Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre. Many assumed that his World Title would be on the line. When Kingston finally answered the challenge, MVP revealed that the WWE Championship wouldn't be on the line at all.

Despite the non-title stipulation, pinning any champion is considered a significant accomplishment. Kingston approached the clash with this mindset and eventually scored a major pinfall victory over Lashley.

The All Mighty hadn't been pinned in four months before this week's RAW, so Kingston's main event victory shouldn't be forgotten anytime soon.

McIntyre's interference helped Kingston defeat Lashley, which conveyed that the main WWE title feud still exists between the two heavyweights.

Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre will likely face each other at Hell in a Cell. However, Kofi Kingston's inclusion in this scenario could prove to be an interesting roadblock over the next few weeks.
