SmackDown on FOX: 5 Finishes for Brock Lesnar vs Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship

#3 Big E helps Kofi retain against Lesnar

A new star in the making?

Ever since Kofi Kingston won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35, talks of one of his New Day brothers turning on him started doing rounds among the Internet Wrestling Community. Hasn't this been a tried and tested storyline before?

The person in contention here was the muscleman of the trio, Big E. While many were expecting him to turn on him way sooner, the faction has still managed to stick together. But how long is the question? Another major factor is whether Big E has that momentum to be presented as a credible challenger for the WWE title?

As discussed in the last slide, the chances of Kofi defeating Lesnar are extremely low, and even if he does manage to somehow walk out with his title, it won't be in a clean fashion. But who could help Kofi against the Beast Incarnate? The answer might just be the guy who has been in shadow for quite some time - Big E.

This would require some long-term storytelling, but check this out! During next week's SmackDown, just when the Beast is about to finish Kofi, Big E attacks Lesnar - thus setting up a feud with him. The two then collide with Big E defeating Brock Lesnar and then going on to challenge Kofi for the title. It is high time WWE uses Lesnar to build new stars, and Big E might just be the perfect candidate to start with.
