6 SmackDown Superstars who shouldn't become the next Intercontinental Champion

#3. Kofi Kingston

Can Kofi Kingston have another great singles run

While Kofi Kingston isn't in the same position as Daniel Bryan, he's another WWE Superstar who the company can put in a major program at any given time. 2019 was the year where he proved that he's truly among the best, even as a singles star.

Xavier Woods and Big E selflessly stated for years that their objective as members of The New Day wasn't just tag team success - it was to help Kofi Kingston become the World Champion. And at WrestleMania 35, an incredible decade-long journey for Kofi Kingston culminated with him winning the WWE Championship.

He had a strong reign as Champion, but his incredible dream run ended in just 10 seconds in the hands of Brock Lesnar. Since then, he's been back as a tag team wrestler, already having won the SmackDown tag team Championships twice since November.

It wouldn't make much sense to put him in the Intercontinental Championship picture now as he's already the tag team Champion. Perhaps Xavier Woods returning would be the perfect time for Kingston to transition into singles competition again.
