#3 Elevate Kingston
This is a rather controversial point. After all, how does losing to Brock Lesnar elevate Kofi Kingston? In all certainty, Kingston might never be in the title picture again after losing the WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar, so how does it benefit Kingston?
As much as most of the fans in the WWE Universe hate to admit it, Brock Lesnar is a major draw – a marquee WWE Superstar. Vince McMahon wouldn’t have given him the opportunities that he has if Lesnar couldn’t bring in cash for the Chairman.
In short, Lesnar is the real deal – people pay to see him. In fact, he is almost always pitted against the best Superstars in the business (Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Daniel Bryan and so on).
As a result, should Lesnar cash in against Kingston, especially if he is already tired from a successful title defense match, it would elevate the status of Kingston, who otherwise would never have had a match against the Beast.
