#2. Best candidate for the Gauntlet Match Iron Man

If you think about it, AJ Styles doesn't need the spot. Randy Orton isn't exactly an Iron Man, Daniel Bryan had his role of being pinned early, Jeff Hardy can't go to the same level anymore, while Samoa Joe too, had a certain role, being the biggest threat to Kingston.

In that sense, Mustafa Ali would have been great for the role, but it's good that a veteran like Kofi Kingston got to have the "Seth Rollins spot" in the Gauntlet match this year. As we said, he even likely broke Rollins' Gauntlet match record, and we all know what wonders that Gauntlet match did for Rollins last year.

It basically gave him a whole new wave of momentum, something that he still carries heading into WrestleMania 35. Kingston was the right pick to be the Iron man of the match. Hopefully, he has a good showing at the Chamber.
