Kofi Kingston will put his WWE Championship on the line against Monday Night Raw's Samoa Joe. Kingston won the WWE title at WrestleMania 35 this year and has successfully retained it by defeating Superstars like Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Dolph Ziggler. Samoa Joe is Kofi's biggest challenger and if he manages to overcome the Samoan Submission Machine, he will get the rub he needs as WWE Champion.
Kofi could possibly defeat Joe at Extreme Rules, as WWE might not be planning to take the title off him just yet. If Kofi retains the title, he will need another opponent for The Biggest Party Of the Summer, SummerSlam. At the direction things are going, WWE could book Randy Orton as Kofi's next opponent. The Viper could strike Kofi with an RKO outta nowhere during or after the latter's match, perfectly setting up a match between himself and Kingston for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam, which will be interesting to watch.
