A new gimmick is the best option left for some of the Superstars

#1 Kofi Kingston

What's next for Kofi Kingston and The New Day?

Kofi Kingston’s title win at WrestleMania earlier this year is one of the most memorable WWE moments of all time. He created history after lifting his first world title after a career that older than a decade.

During his title reign, Kofi feuded with the likes of Randy Orton, Samoa Joe, and Daniel Bryan. He survived some of the biggest challenges of his career only to lose his WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar in a matter of seconds.

But on today’s episode, he and The New Day looked as though nothing had ever happened? Can WWE expect fans to forget the ending to this magical run of Kofi's?

Or worse, after seeing what a great champion he was, are we supposed to see him return to the Tag Team scene and never acknowledge KofiMania ever again?

Don’t get me wrong. The power of positivity is amazing, coming from The New Day. But the recent events are bound to irk the members of WWE’s most successful faction of all time. Both Kofi Kingston and The New Da enjoy a huge fan following who will continue to cheer for them even if they went a little rogue.

After all, losing the title deserves a reaction and throwing pancakes at smiling faces isn’t enough.
