WWE Elimination Chamber 2019: 3 reasons why Kofi Kingston should have won the WWE Championship 

Kofi Kingston has once again proved that WWE should consider him as a top singles superstar. The New Day member lasted over an hour on SmackDown, and today, was the final one to be pinned inside the Elimination Chamber.

The fans were all behind him in Houston, Texas, but WWE Creative went ahead and kept the title on Daniel Bryan. While there is no legit reason to why Kofi wasn't made a champion tonight, everyone would agree that he does deserve another title opportunity.

Here are 5 reasons why WWE should have given Kofi the title:

#3 It's about time

Kofi Kingston has been in the WWE for 11 years now and has not won the WWE Championship even once. He has won the US Title, Intercontinental Championship and the tag titles but it's about time WWE put the big title on him too.

It's true that his opportunity came out of nowhere for Kingston but he did manage to get the crowd behind him within no time. Mustafa Ali's injury had forced WWE to switch him with Kingston but his one performance was enough to get the WWE Universe to back him.

WWE creative literally had to do nothing to get this sort of a reaction from the crowd. Vince McMahon is going after Becky Lynch to get the whole WWE Universe behind her, The Authority went against Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan to make them a crowd favourite but nothing of that sort was needed with Kofi.

The New Day is not involved in any title feud right now and are just mid-carders filling in roles and gaps in the roster. This would have been the ideal time to put the title on Kofi and give him that push he always deserved.

#2 New face of SmackDown

The WWE title has been in the hands of AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan for some time, and to be honest, it was time for a change. The two have done exceptionally well and have defended it brilliantly but it was time for a change.

Giving Kofi the title would have given a whole new direction to the storyline. Not only would it have involved Daniel Bryan, but WWE could also have brought in AJ Styles and Mustafa Ali into the picture with ease.

Bryan would have got into the match with his rematch clause, which is still active despite the McMahons saying otherwise. AJ Styles could have got involved saying he did not make things worse for Kofi on SmackDown and that's the reason he competed in the chamber.

And Mustafa Ali, of course, would argue that Kofi would have never made it if it wasn't for his injury. A fatal 4-way between these superstars would have been a great match at WrestleMania.

#1 Beginning of the end for New Day?

Let's be honest, if it wasn't for the merchandise and product sales, The New Day wouldn't have been together for this long. When was the last time we saw a stable last this long in the WWE?

Giving Kofi the title would have easily given the creative a good storyline to end the new Day gimmick. Xavier Woods or Big E could have turned on Kofi during their celebration filled with bootyo's and pancakes – leaving the WWE Universe shocked.

A feud that could have not just been entertaining but with a storyline written all by itself. Everyone accusing the other of stopping their singles growth and then, just The Shield, getting back together one day realising that they were better off together itself.

This is a storyline that the WWE Universe would have loved to see as all three of them are highly entertaining and fun to watch.
