#2 To right the wrong in Kofi Kingston's case

Brock Lesnar had a short-lived stint on SmackDown before he moved to RAW to feud with Mysterio. While he was on the Blue Brand, he defeated Kofi Kingston in a matter of mere seconds. Kofi Kingston is someone who made history by winning the WWE Championship at WrestleMania this year, defeating Daniel Bryan.

And following that, he defeated challenger after challenger until he faced off against Brock Lesnar in a match that was panned by fans. The WWE Universe was distraught at how little Kofi Kingston's reign meant for it to end in the manner that it did. And for the very same reason, WWE may be rewarding Kofi Kingston with a consolation prize.

In no way, does a SmackDown Tag Team Championship measure with respect to a WWE Championship. But then again, I suppose something is better than nothing at all.
