The rise of KofiMania was arguably 2019's most unexpected storyline. While fans were already demanding Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch to have major WrestleMania moments, we received a bonus that many of us never even knew we wanted so badly!

It all started on the SmackDown before Elimination Chamber. Kofi Kingston replaced Mustafa Ali in a Gauntlet Match due to an unfortunate injury. Kingston put on a performance for the ages. It wasn't long before the WWE Universe got behind the man's dream to win the one championship that had eluded him for so long.

Daniel Bryan played the perfect heel and ensured that Kingston's crowning moment at WrestleMania 35 was special. The emotions were real, as he became the first African-born WWE Champion in the company's history.

Unfortunately, it all came tumbling down at the hands of a man who is known to conquer things. After holding the title for nearly 6 months, Kofi Kingston lost it to Brock Lesnar in disastrous fashion on the inaugural episode of SmackDown on FOX. The biggest disappointment was the way his reign ended, as 'The Beast Incarnate' took him out in under 10 seconds in embarrassing fashion.

Another fact to note was that Kofi Kingston never headlined any PPV during his 180-day long reign!
