Grade: A+

Analysis: This is a legitimate match of the year contender. This feud between Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston has been perfect. Kofi Kingston has been great as the underdog that the fans just want to see finally win the big one while Daniel Bryan has been amazing as a detestable heel.

There was really no wrong way for this match to end as both men are incredibly talented but Kofi Kingston winning was the right decision. Given how much Kofi Kingston has been cheated lately, it would only be right for him to finally be given a WrestleMania moment. There were two specifically great moments in the match.

The first moment was when Daniel Bryan countered the Trouble in Paradise into the Running Knee and Kofi Kingston somehow kicked out. The second moment was when Daniel Bryan locked in the Lebell Lock and it looked like Kofi Kingston was going to pass out.

When the referee lifted up his hand and went to see if it would drop when he let go of it, the entire crowd went crazy. It looked Daniel Bryan had the match won by knockout but in a great moment, Kofi Kingston made a fist a fought out of it.

He then got the much-deserved victory and is the first man that was born in Africa to become WWE Champion. He is now a Grand Slam Champion as well.
