I understand wanting a longer story, especially for WrestleMania…But that’s not on Kofi. I think the guy’s always had main event talent, but creative has often failed him.
And to Kofi’s credit, he & the New Day are focusing more on the 11 years of work rather than the last 2 months of him getting the big solo push. So in that respect, this is the ultimate “slow burn” story. And if they don’t pull the trigger now, then when?
I’d rather see the belt on a guy like Kofi who I’ve enjoyed watching for years and deserves it more than anyone. Than on a guy like Brock who’s never there and could care less about it.
