#5 Brought back The Beast
Trending
After Kofi Kingston defeated Randy Orton at Clash of Champions, it felt like he had run through every top heel on SmackDown during his title reign and there was no one left who could prove to be a real threat to the WWE Champion.
What fans, and even Kofi himself, didn’t realize was the fact that he hadn’t faced the wrath of The Beast for the title yet. Moments after The New Day defeated The Revival and Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar's music played and The Beast appeared to a thunderous ovation from the stunned audience.
Flanked by his advocate Paul Heyman, the big announcement that Lesnar would challenge the WWE Champion on the October 4 episode of SmackDown Live on FOX was made.
Right after Kofi accepted the challenge, he ate an F-5 for his trouble. This certified that Kofi has finally met the biggest challenge for his title to date and that there was no way out for the Superstar who last fought The Beast during The Beast in the East event and ended up eating multiple F-5s.
What made the segment even better was the fact that WWE did not advertise, hype or otherwise hint The Beast would be appearing on tonight's show. This was the right call to make at a time when Kofi has proven to be one of WWE’s top champions.
