For a long time in his WWE career, fans looked at Kofi Kingston as someone who would never win the big one – a world championship. However, Kofi defied the odds and with the WWE Universe behind him, beat Daniel Bryan to win the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35 earlier this year, and still holds the title at the time of writing.

This facet complements the next story about Vince McMahon as it involves Kofi Kingston. Ahead of WrestleMania 26, Chris Jericho was with Kingston and Vince McMahon on a promotional visit. On the flight, Vince made a snide remark to Kofi about his failure to get over. Jericho advised Kofi to confront Vince about it if he wanted the Chairman to respect him.

Kofi confronted Vince after the flight landed and it led to Vince tackling him to the ground mid-sentence. A scuffle ensued between the two men until Vince got up on his feet and began laughing hysterically. Jericho described this incident in his book, "The Best In The World: At What I Have No Idea".
