If this match took place last year, there was no point in even considering a win for Kofi, but such has been 2019 for him that one can't completely rule out the possibility of the WWE Champion picking up a victory over the Beast Incarnate next week. Of course, the chances of him picking up a clean victory are extremely low, if not zero.

It all started on the SmackDown before Elimination Chamber 2019, when Kofi Kingston replaced the injured Mustafa Ali in the Gauntlet match and went on to impress fans and critiques with his performance. This was where "Kofimania" was born as he went on to challenge and dethrone the then WWE Champion Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35, thus becoming the first African-born WWE Champion in the history.

The last instance of Kofi and Brock facing each other was back in 2015 during the Beast in the East event in Japan. In the match that lasted a little over two minutes, the Beast dominated the New Day member with multiple suplexes and finished him off with an F5.

But so much has happened between then and now, with the Beast not being that undefeated, and Kofi becoming a main event player. As shocking as this might be, Kofi does have a slight chance of taking out Brock Lesnar.
