#2 Long overdue
Kofi Kingston has been in the WWE for over 10 years. 10 years – that is over a decade at one place without reaching the pinnacle despite having what it takes to do so. In that time frame, WWE have had numerous title changes but never did it fall in Kingston’s hand.
Since Kingston’s debut, The Shield heroes Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose not only debuted but have held the WWE/Universal championship at least once each.
The Undertaker retired Shawn Michaels, CM Punk kicked Jeff Hardy out of Friday Night SmackDown, CM Punk himself left after a title reign of 434 days, a part-timer Brock Lesnar also held the Universal title for 434 days, Shawn Michaels came out of retirement to take on the Brothers of Destruction while representing DX with Triple H… the list goes on and on.
But Kingston has always been overlooked. And it is about time that changes.
