#3 The New Day celebrate Kofi Kingston's WWE title win

When Kofi Kingston climbed to the top of the WWE mountain, it was not just an emotional moment for his partners in The New Day, as well. The phenomenon known as 'KofiMania' would sweep the underappreciated, veteran performer all the way to a place in history.

Kingston would go on to defeat Daniel Bryan to win his first World title after 11 years with WWE. In the process, he also became the first African-born champion to hold the title and the second African-American, after the Rock.

After Kingston won the title, all three members of The New Day were able to celebrate in the center of the ring with all three men openly weeping at Kingston's crowning.

His fellow members in the New Day were also joined in the ring by Kingston's young sons, who were able to celebrate the incredible moment alongside their father.
