WWE Champion: Kofi Kingston
A month ago, if you said that Kofi Kingston would walk out of WrestleMania as WWE Champion, you'd be looked at as a crazy person, but here we are. Kofi Kingston has gotten nuclear hot in a short time span, and while that normally wouldn't mean much, it does mean a lot when the company is trying everything it can to keep him hot. Put simply, he's getting the Becky Lynch treatment.
Vince McMahon doesn't become your enemy, take away your title shot, and then put you in a gauntlet match you have to win to get it back for no reason. Kofi Kingston is being built for ultimate triumph, and it will happen at WrestleMania. To go against that triumph would be asking for a fan revolt right now. WWE has invested too much in Kingston.
How long his reign will be is anyone's guess, but after 11 years, he's finally going to get his great moment of glory.
