Kofi Kingston, eleven years after making his WWE debut and nine years after Randy Orton killed his main event push, finally won the WWE Championship from Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35. It was the best part on a night filled with great wrestling and amazing moments.

Kofi's reign as champion has been a decent one, defending the belt against the likes of Kevin Owens, AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler in high-quality matches. He is yet to have that one feud and match that would define his WWE Championship reign though. However, that feud may have just begun, in the form of a ghost of Kofi's past.

Randy Orton has stepped up and will challenge for the WWE title at SummerSlam. He and Kofi had quite the heated promo segment this past week on SmackDown. They broke the fourth wall, referencing how Orton used his influence to hold Kofi back. After trading jabs, the match is set.

In 2009, an up-and-coming Kofi Kingston tested himself against Randy Orton in an attempt to reach the next level. After ten years of grinding to reach the top, Kofi Kingston is going to test himself against Randy Orton again, this time to stay on top.
