#3 Helps Kofi Kingston look strong in defeat
How does WWE get the belt off Kofi Kingston?
While Kofi Mania rocked the WWE to its very core over the last couple of months, the momentum of his run is starting to dry out and the company is going to be forced to make other arrangments in the future. Beyond that, they are going to have to do it in a way that doesn't make Kingston look weak in defeat.
Of course, that's going to be a hard goal to accomplish, especially with how high some fans still are on Kingston, but probably the easiest way to do it is to screw him over. At least that way, he doesn't take a clean loss and be booked in a rematch or two before he is officially removed from the title picture.
With that being said, Shane McMahon fixing the match and making it go in his favour would be a great way to generate heat, make Kingston look strong in defeat and transition the title into its next phase. Maybe WWE could even put in a crooked referee or have McMahon's faction help him win the match, which will only help Kingston look stronger in defeat!
In the end, a clean loss is only going to hurt Kingston moving forward and kill any further momentum. That's why WWE needs to do it in such an unfair fashion to make sure that fans have nothing to complain and Kingston doesn't look too bad.
