#1 He was never in the "Plan"
The major push of Kofi Kingston started on the SmackDown before Elimination Chamber when he was announced as the replacement for an injured Mustafa Ali in the elimination chamber. He participated in a 6-men Gauntlet Match, wrestling for almost an hour and defeating Daniel Bryan, Jeff Hardy, and Samoa Joe before getting eliminated by AJ Styles.

While any hardcore wrestling fan would understand that Kofi was a last-minute replacement for Mustafa Ali, and him getting over was not something WWE had expected.

But WWE would want everyone to think this is how they booked it originally.
What are your thoughts on this? Will Kofi finally win the big one at WrestleMania 35 by defeating the WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan? Let us know in the comments section.
