The most recent example of how good WWE can be even in the PG Era is the remarkable rise of Kofi Kingston. The supposedly perennial mid-carder found his way into the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber, following an injury to Mustafa Ali, and he made the most of this opportunity.

The fans were so into the idea of the New Day member becoming WWE Champion after eleven years and it became a movement, somewhat similar to Daniel Bryan's journey towards WrestleMania 30, another great PG Era story.

Cody Rhodes' uncle is a WWE Hall of Famer. More details HERE.

Now the heel, Bryan played his part magnificently and even called Kofi a B-plus player. After jumping through numerous hoops set up by Vince McMahon, Kofi finally got a one-on-one shot at this year's WrestleMania.

This was the best-told story in the lead up to the show, even more than the aforementioned women's main event. Kofi vs Bryan happened right at the middle of the show and the entire presentation of the segment, from video package to post-match celebration, was excellent.

It was one of the greatest WrestleMania moments of all time and possibly a top-five moment for the entirety of the PG Era. Hopefully, WWE can return to the peak of their creativity and storytelling abilities soon.
