WWE WrestleMania 35: What To Expect, Match By Match Analysis, & Betting Odds

WWE Champion Daniel Bryan vs Kofi Kingston

WWE Champion Daniel Bryan vs Kofi Kingston

Daniel Bryan knows better than anyone about taking advantage of an opportunity when an opportunity is earned. This is exactly what Bryan did on his way to making history at WrestleMania 30, where he had to beat three future WWE Hall of Famers (Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista) to win his very first WWE Championship. The matches were metaphors for the corporate machine that too often stood in Bryan's way and his victory over Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista was an embodiment of his victory over corporate's refusal to see something special in him.

Flash forward half a decade and the new Daniel Bryan is Kofi Kingston. Kingston is well known as one of WWE's hardest workers. He keeps his head down, doesn't complain, and does his job 300 nights a year without fail. Still, the hard work never manifested into a world championship opportunity for Kingston, who will have his first one on one world championship match this Sunday at WrestleMania against Daniel Bryan.

Fate has brought these two together and as the WWE Universe advocated for Kingston, the corporate machine did everything in its power to keep Kingston from attaining his rightfully earned championship opportunity. Despite overwhelming odds, Kingston prevailed, but can he win the big one?

Daniel Bryan will push Kingston to his limits. Kingston already met Bryan as a participant in this year's Elimination Chamber and Bryan pinned him cleanly to retain his WWE Championship. That isn't lost on Bryan, who is supremely confident heading into WrestleMania 35. That may or may not serve Bryan well, who would be remiss to sleep on the ultra talented Kofi Kingston.

Fate is an impossible opponent and that is what Bryan is up against here. This is Kofi Kingston's time and while Bryan is a superb in-ring talent and will fully utilize the diabolical powers of WWE corporate to impede Kingston's path to the WWE Championship, he is outmatched by Kingston's heart.

Kingston isn't only wrestling for himself. His shoulders are heavy. He hoists his New Day brethren upon them and all those who have ever been overlooked before. Look for Kingston to prove to be unbeatable on his way to becoming WWE Champion at WrestleMania 35.

Odds On Favorite: -270 Kofi Kingston
