Kofi Kingston is set to have the biggest match in his WWE career when the New Day member takes on Daniel Bryan for the WWE championship at the Grandest Stage Of Them All.
Kofi has had quite a few months. Firstly, replacing an injured Mustafa Ali for the Elimination Chamber match, and then eventually becoming a permanent threat to Bryan's WWE championship. The Road to Wrestlemania has been a bumpy one for Kofi, with Vince Mcmohan throwing numerous obstacles along the way. But all said and done, he is going to face Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania 35.
The match can be expected to be a very good one, considering the quality of the performers involved. Kofi is an eleven-year veteran and would be eager to prove that he belongs with the best. Daniel Bryan is one of the best in the company and he has been entertaining as ever in the "New Daniel Bryan" character.
Here are 3 possible twists that can take place in the Daniel Bryan vs Kofi Kingston match:
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#1 Big E and Xavier Woods heel turn
New Day is undoubtedly one of the best teams in the history of the company. The trio has won numerous titles in the tag team division and even got to be the hosts of Wrestlemania 33.
With Kofi Kingston facing Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania 35, maybe, it is the perfect time to break them up and have Big E and Xavier Woods turn on Kofi. Big E and Woods are the very reason Kofi is even in the match after they outlasted the entire Smackdown Live tag team division in a gauntlet match.
Big E has been earmarked to be the breakout superstar from the group for some time and what better stage than Wrestlemania to pull the trigger. It can be a simple case of jealousy, where the two other members of the New Day feel left out after Kofi's meteoric rise to the top of the food chain.

#2 Family reunion
The Wyatt Family made their main roster debut in 2013. The original members of the faction were Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, and Eric Rowan.
At one point in time, a certain Daniel Bryan was also a member of the faction. Former member Rowan has already sided with the American Dragon as his intellectual peer. There have been rumors ongoing about the possible return of Bray Wyatt for The Greatest Show Of Them All.
The Eater Of Worlds was last seen on WWE programming as one half of the Deleter of Worlds tag team also involving "Woken" Matt Hardy. After an injury to Hardy, creative wrote Wyatt out of TV programming and he has been missing in action since.
Kofi Kingston has the numbers advantage, with Big E and Xavier Woods on his side. So, Bray Wyatt reappearing and helping Daniel Bryan retain the WWE championship can be a possibility.

#3 Vince McMahon tricks Kofi Kingston
Vince has made it pretty apparent, at least in kayfabe terms, that he does not want Kofi anywhere near the WWE championship.
He replaced Kofi Kingston with Kevin Owens at Fastlane. Then at the pay-per-view, Vince tricked Kofi into a two-on-one handicap match against Sheamus and Cesaro after promising of a title match. Kofi was also forced to face top Smackdown Live superstars in a gauntlet match. The deck has always been stacked against the New Day member.
Now, this is a scenario that may take place if Kofi happens to win the match. Vince McMahon can play his final hand, by making him defend the WWE championship immediately after the match against Daniel Bryan.
Owens was WWE's first choice as the challenger for Bryan before Kofimania took over. So, Vince introducing The Prizefighter as one last opponent Kofi must face could be on the cards. That would also effectively turn Owens heel.
