WrestleMania 35: 5 biggest reasons why Vince McMahon won't let Kofi Kingston win the WWE Championship

Kofi Kingston is set for the single biggest match of his career. After 11 years in the business, giving his blood, sweat and tears to do what he loves, he's finally getting a WWE Championship opportunity at WrestleMania.

Fans are thankful that the match happened at WrestleMania and not Fastlane as it was scheduled, because had it taken place at Fastlane, there would have been next to zero chances of Kofi Kingston walking out as WWE Champion.

While fans are naturally hopeful that Kingston wins at WrestleMania (and we sincerely hope so too), don't put it past WWE to make you think otherwise and have Kofi Kingston lose.

It would naturally be a major disappointment, but one mustn't forget that WrestleMania has always had its fair share of disappointments. There's a very high possibility that Kofi Kingston doesn't walk out as WWE Champion, and here are five reasons why Vince McMahon may not let him walk out with the title.

#5 B+ Player

The great part of the Kofi Kingston storyline is how they've used the "B+ Player" aspect of it, one that was used on Bryan five years ago when he was the underdog heading into WrestleMania 30.

5 years later, Kofi Kingston is being viewed in a similar light, and McMahon himself constantly refers to Kingston as a B+ Player. Sadly, there might be some truth to it. Not that Kofi is a B+ Player, but that McMahon potentially believes he is one.

It's believed that McMahon genuinely felt that way about Daniel Bryan in his hottest run from 2013-14, which is why he was constantly being held back. He was never planned to be in the WrestleMania 30 main event, but WWE was forced to change their plans.

This may be one of those cases where it doesn't have a payoff.

#4 Daniel Bryan is having the best run of his WWE career

Believe it or not, Daniel Bryan's current reign as WWE Champion is longer than all his previous reigns put together. You heard that right. After that long retirement and hiatus, Bryan is back to full health, and as a heel WWE champion, it's been something out of the ordinary.

Nobody would have ever expected that Bryan would ever turn heel in the first place. He was the biggest babyface of the PG Era. Many thought that he would be a lifelong babyface, but that didn't turn out to be the case.

Not only this, but he's absolutely killed it as a heel, becoming the most hated figure on SmackDown Live. There are a few runs which many people wish had lasted longer, for example - Hollywood Rock in 2003 and heel Batista in 2010. WWE may want to capitalize on this incredible run and have it last for longer.

#3 Vince McMahon doesn't want to take a long-term chance on Kofi Kingston

What many people don't seem to realize about Vince McMahon is that not only does he hold all the cards, but when making decisions, he takes more than just one factor into account. Sure, capitalizing on Kofi Kingston would be a great decision now especially since he's hot.

However, McMahon most definitely thinks long-term, and he may feel that Kofi Kingston is not the right person to carry the WWE Championship, and may not draw the desired ratings to SmackDown Live.

We certainly disagree with that, especially since WWE took a chance on Jinder Mahal for many months and quite a few PPV main events. Perhaps McMahon is legitimately sceptical about Kofi Kingston's drawing power, and would want to stick to Daniel Bryan because he knows that the current WWE Champion can draw and sustain good ratings for SmackDown.

#2 More heat for Daniel Bryan

If Daniel Bryan defeats Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania, not only will he be the elite few who have retained the title at the Show of Shows, but he will also become the most hated man in the company.

Can you imagine the heat that Bryan would get for beating Kingston? The air in the MetLife stadium would completely be sucked out, and Bryan would receive a tremendous amount of heat.

As it stands, he's already such a hated heel, that even when he does the "Yes" gesture, the crowd blatantly responds with "No" chants. Beating Kofi Kingston would easily cement Bryan as WWE's biggest heel, and we all know how much Vince McMahon is obsessed with heat. The fact of the matter is that he simply may have bigger plans for Daniel Bryan in the future, which is why there's a chance that he will retain.

#1 Already going to be two other coronations at WrestleMania

It's sad, but the truth is that despite the fact that there are three great babyface title challengers in Kingston, Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins, not all of them will be winning their respective championships.

While Seth Rollins is the most likely pick out of the three to lose, there's a very high chance that he will dethrone The Beast Incarnate, who isn't advertised for anything post-WrestleMania. Becky Lynch is basically a lock to walk out of the main event as a victor (and RAW Women's Champion).

WWE may feel that they don't want three different coronations in one night, which is why they may cut down one just to swerve fans. This would certainly be unfortunate, especially because it should be a night where all three superstars get crowned as champions.

All three of them undoubtedly deserve it, and it would be injustice otherwise.
