5 Things WWE has secretly told us about Kofi Kingston's WrestleMania 35 journey

#4 SmackDown Live is the place where Superstars really get an opportunity

Remember this match between Sami and Kofi?

Whether it is Edge, AJ Styles, Becky Lynch, Jeff Hardy, Daniel Bryan, Kofi Kingston or The Miz, there's no denying that SmackDown Live has always been an influential brand in bringing the spotlight on stars who may not necessarily get the same adulation on the company's flagship show, Monday Night Raw.

A significant example would also include Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens' journey in 2017 when both the Superstars were in an engaging feud with Shane McMahon.

Considering that Kofi Kingston is receiving such a massive push on the blue brand, it's about time that SmackDown Live continues to ascend their credibility and build more stars.

Moreover, even Becky Lynch's meteoric rise to the top of the industry was so organic. The WWE Universe have always been vocal about how pivotal SmackDown has been in elevating stars.

In a show where 'The New' Daniel Bryan, Asuka, and R-Truth are holding the most prestigious belts on the roster, it is a testament to SmackDown's indispensability to push a different league of superstars.

While The New Day has been a popular act on the main roster, there's no denying that Kofi Kingston would have never received the same main event status on Monday Night Raw.
