#3. He won Vince McMahon over
When Vince McMahon got involved in the storyline before Fastlane, it was a surefire sign that Kofi Kingston was going to win the WWE Championship. Remember, when Vince McMahon is feuding against another superstar or is holding them back, it's because he wants to put them over big time.
