#2 WWE Championship: Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Randy Orton
One of the best WWE stories of 2019 has taken place over the last couple of months on SmackDown Live between Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton.
This 10-years-in-the-making rivalry has blurred the lines between storyline and reality at times, with Orton’s behind-the-scenes attempts to hold Kingston back in 2009 being the main focus of the WWE Championship rivalry.
Last month, the two men produced one of the best matches of the night at SummerSlam. However, as is often the case with long-term rivalries, the match ended in shenanigans after both men were counted out at the same time.
Although that meant fans were left disappointed at SummerSlam, it surely means we will see a definitive winner when Kingston and Orton meet again in one of the most anticipated matches at Clash of Champions.
Kingston has surpassed expectations as WWE Champion but it feels like the momentum has shifted in this feud in recent weeks, so let’s go with Orton.
Prediction: Randy Orton
