#2 Kofi Kingston could have become the new WWE Champion
To repeat the words of Kofi Kingston "I'm going to beat Daniel Bryan and become the WWE Champion". Just imagine if these words would have come true at Fastlane, Kingston would have received the biggest moment of his WWE career after 11 long years.
While, some believed Kingston had no chance of beating Bryan at Fastlane even if he wasn't replaced by Owens, but WWE was strongly considering to put the title on Kingston following the reactions he received during the gauntlet match and in the Elimination Chamber match.
There have been instances where we had unexpected WWE Champions, just to remind you of one, Jinder Mahal which was by far the most shocking title change in the history of the WWE Title.
Similarly, Kingston could also become WWE Champion, though this title change would have been shocking it would have been overwhelming too.
Maybe it's possible, that WWE gives Kingston his big moment at Wrestlemania and that's the reason they replaced him at Fastlane but its also possible, that they completely ignore this storyline and move onto Owens against Bryan at WrestleMania again.
