The last time WrestleMania was hosted at MetLife Stadium, Kofi Kingston was not even on the Mania card. He was one of the guests featured on the pre-show panel.

Kofi would go on to be a part of The New Day the following year, and the rest is history.
Kofi Kingston's underdog story on SmackDown is possibly the greatest WWE storyline heading into WrestleMania. Vince McMahon has been screwing Kofi Kingston ever since he gave the performance of a lifetime in the gauntlet match last month and the Elimination Chamber match.
Kofi's rise from the pre-show panel at WrestleMania 29, to the main event of WrestleMania 35 is nothing but inspiring. With the storyline heavily centered around Kofi being screwed over and over by Mr. McMahon, we could actually see him become the WWE Champion on April 7th.
Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
