7 things WWE got right on Smackdown Live this week (26 February 2019)

#7 Long Term Storytelling

This is not over by a long shot.

The most shocking thing to occur for many fans this week was the fact that Kofi Kingston got screwed out of another chance at reaching the heights he has worked eleven years to achieve. The WWE Universe is livid with Vince McMahon's decision of replacing Kofi with Kevin Owens at Fastlane in the WWE Title match against Daniel Bryan, and while most will rebel against WWE for this decision, it was the right call.

As if you think for a second Kofi is out of the title picture you are mistaken, as WWE replacing Kofi with KO at Faslane only means one thing, Kofi is going to challenge Daniel Bryan for the WWE Title at Wrestlemania. There is no other way around it, WWE is building up Kofi for his biggest victory yet, and they are doing a splendid job at it.

From coming so close to winning the gold at the Elimination Chamber to almost main eventing a pay-per-view, WWE is riling up the crowd in Kofi's defence and its working according to plan. Moreover, Daniel Bryan's involvement in this programme is just exceptional, as his presence in the entire opening segment truly define his heel persona as a man that is willing to let his enemies destroy themes without saying a word.

WWE has stepped up their game in just two episodes of Raw and Smackdown Live this week, so hopefully, let's expect more great thing from the company next week.
