The 4 underlying themes in Kofi Kingston's journey to WrestleMania 35

#2 The story of hypocrisy

The "New" Daniel Bryan - the man who has become what he fought against 5 years ago

5 years ago, the world witnessed "the miracle on Bourbon Street" at WrestleMania 30, as Daniel Bryan triumphed against Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. The "B+ Player" at the time, as perceived by the McMahon family at the time, Bryan overcame all the odds and told one of the greatest underdog of all time.

In 2019, the tables have comprehensively turned. Daniel Bryan is the WWE Champion and as the Champion, he tried to create obstacles in the way of Kofi Kingston in becoming the #1 Contender for Bryan's Championship at WrestleMania 35. Why? Because according to him, Kofi Kingston is a "B+ player" and does not deserve any championship opportunity.

Through this underlying theme, WWE creative has successfully shown that Daniel Bryan has become what he fought against 5 years. In the process, he has become the biggest heel in WWE right now.
