#3 The opportunity to make him the first Black WWE Champion
One of the most significant reasons why Vince McMahon could be willing to pull out all the stops to push Kofi Kingston is to impel him as the first Black WWE Champion.
Regardless of the fact that the likes of Mark Henry and Booker T have held the World Heavyweight Championship in the WWE, the WWE Championship has always been tipped as the most coveted prize in the entire industry, and they were two separate belts.
With Kofi being in such a prominent position today on SmackDown Live, Vince definitely sees an interesting opportunity here to make history at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
Moreover, 'The New' Daniel Bryan's conniving mannerisms as the Planet's Champion have made this feud even more compelling.
Considering that Bryan has now labelled The Dreadlocked Dynamo as a good B+ player, the narrative makes a lot more sense and will only gravitate nuclear heat for the eco-friendly WWE Champion.
While Bryan is enacting the perfect antagonist in this scenario, it's understandable why Vince would be willing to ascend Kingston to the top of the heap as the company's first Black WWE Champion.
