#4. Kofi Kingston is a roadblock for Bobby Lashley to overcome on the road to Hell in a Cell

Kofi Kingston might just be a stepping stone for Bobby Lashley as Hell in a Cell is a month away. It seems clear that Drew McIntyre will be the next WWE Championship challenger on PPV, but that doesn't mean Kofi will get that spot as well.

For all we know, it might be a filler feud for Bobby Lashley for the next couple of weeks until Hell in a Cell 2021.

The idea behind having Kofi Kingston pin Bobby Lashley would ideally be to start a rivalry, and that's exactly what might happen. But would Kingston have any chance of displacing Bobby Lashley during the greatest run of his wrestling career?

It seems unlikely. For all we know, WWE could be using Kofi Kingston as a babyface, so Bobby Lashley gets a lot of heat for Hell in a Cell 2021.
