#3. Rematch between Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton

The build towards the match between Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton ahead of SummerSlam 2019 was very interesting as WWE used real-life heat between the two Superstars, that happened a decade ago, in the storyline.

But the result of the match at SummerSlam was confusing and surprising for many. Kingston retained the title after a double count-out as the two brawled out in front of Kingston's family, who were ringside.

This feud has taken a very personal turn, akin to what happened between AJ Styles and Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship last year. We could possibly see Kingston and Orton feud for a few more weeks, perhaps even till the next PPV, Clash of Champions, which takes place on September 15.

Kingston's run as WWE Champion has dragged on and been uninspiring over the last month or two and needs a fresh lease of life, which Orton could probably add to the feud.
