After years of grinding in the WWE, Kofi Kingston has reached the mountain top and won the WWE Title.
He did so when he knocked off Daniel Bryan as the WWE Champion at the WWE WrestleMania 35 pay-per-view event. This marks the first time that Kingston has held the WWE Title or a major World Title under the WWE banner for that matter.
WWE went through several ups and downs for Kingston in this storyline that all started when Kingston had a great performance at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event. Moving along, Kingston was supposed to challenge for the strap at the WWE Fastlane pay-per-view event, but WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon announced that Kevin Owens would replace Kingston during a contract signing.
Bryan won the title on November 13, 2018, in St. Louis, Missouri, on an episode of SmackDown Live by defeating AJ Styles, which marked his fourth reign as champion.
Time will tell when WWE gives Bryan a rematch for the strap. It could come on an episode of SmackDown Live or the next pay-per-view event, Money in the Bank, that goes down on May 19th in Hartford, Connecticut at the XL Center.
