Their rivalry raged on in the weeks following the destruction of Randy Orton's car, with the most memorable moment of the feud coming only six days before Survivor Series, at Madison Square Garden. This would become the biggest moment of Kofi Kingston's career, for a really long time.

Orton was set to drop the punt on "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, but Kofi made the save and the two brawled all over the MSG arena. The babyface would get the better of the exchange and deliver a huge Boom Drop to Orton through the production table.

The New York crowd loved it, reacting wildly to the incredible stunt Kofi pulled off. Kofi's momentum was sky-high at this point, putting him on the verge of becoming the next breakout star in the entire company.

It was an incredible moment, seeing the Dreadlocked Dynamo unleash his brutal side on the helpless Viper. The logical next step would be to put him over the then 6-time WWE world champion.
