Kofi Kingston has some backup of his own in the form of The New Day
The New Day were the deciding factor in the match between Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler at Super ShowDown back in June since Xavier Woods had to involve himself in order to help his New Day teammate to retain his Championship.

Brock Lesnar destroyed all three members of The New Day at Beast in the East four years ago, but The New Day has grown since then and it's hard to imagine that they will allow Kingston to lose his Championship to Lesnar without involving themselves.
Even if they are seen getting involved by the referee, a disqualification would mean that Kingston would retain and live to fight another day. Lesnar is a lone wolf and has no one to watch his back like Kingston, which is why the odds should be in Kofi's favor heading into next week's match.

Xavier Woods and Big E have stated numerous times that Kingston is their brother, and even though he sent them away last week on SmackDown Live, it's hard to imagine that they won't at least try to help their brother retain his title.
