Only Kofi didn't see this coming. Nevertheless, it got a thunderous reaction from the crowd. Kevin Owens' turn may have been predictable, but it was sudden nevertheless. The bookers did a good job last night.

Kofi Kingston vs. Kevin Owens at Money in the Bank isn't official yet, but we all know it's on. It should make for a good match and feud. Will Kofimania continue or will Kevin Owens' viciousness rip his glory from his waist? It should make for good emotional investment when Money in the Bank comes around. The fans will want to continue Kofimania through their sheer force of will. That's what makes for a good wrestling program.

Nevertheless, there's a good chance that Kevin Owens wins the WWE Championship in May, to drop it to Roman Reigns before the move to FOX in October. That knowledge will surely make fans even more invested in the outcome.
