What will be the outcome of this sudden change of plans? Will Kofi get his title shot?

#2 They want to push Kevin Owens into the WWE title picture

KO's return was expected but the way it happened shocked everyone

The prodigal son returned to WWE tonight and was sent straight into the WWE Championship picture by none other than Mr. McMahon. Owens deserved the Universal Title reign and was starting to stagnate a little in the main roster before his departure. Now that he's back, WWE wants to waste no time and send KO straight up to fight Daniel Bryan at Fastlane.

Maybe this was always the plan and Kofi was just a placeholder challenger for Daniel until KO returned. Surely after the reaction, we got from the crowd, no one wants Kofi to be replaced at this point which complicates the matter.

However, it's nothing that can't be solved with a good old triple threat title bout at Fastlane, if not at the grandest stage of them all.
