SmackDown Live after Extreme Rules: 3 things WWE needs to do

#1 Find a new challenger for Kofi Kingston

Kofi needs something new

Much like my previous point, another man in need of new opponents is Kofi Kingston. He's been on a superb run as WWE Champion, convincingly beating everyone who steps to him. Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens, Dolph Ziggler and now Samoa Joe have all fallen to the champ. That list is a who's who of big indie names.

Since Joe lost in under 10 minutes to a Trouble in Paradise out of nowhere, I think it's time to send him to the back of the line. Being an unashamed Randy Orton mark, I'd love it if he found himself in contention for the WWE Championship.

His last WWE Championship match was against Jinder Mahal at Battleground 2017, where he sent a Singh Brother through an announce table and got choked by the Great Khali. He can have another match.

If not Orton, then theoretically anyone is potential competition as long as they can build him up. I might be shocked if Curtis Axel became the number one contender, but if they could convince me that Curtis Axel might actually win, I'd enjoy it.

If Kofi Kingston just fights in a meaningless 28 Man Tag Team Elimination Match on SmackDown, I will be slightly upset.
