<p>Kofi Kingston managed to inspire the entire WWE Universe heading into last year&#8217;s WrestleMania and this led to WWE finally allowing the veteran to become WWE Champion after 11 years.</p>



<p>Kingston&#8217;s journey to WWE&#8217;s most prestigious Championship was long and hard but it was the headliner on WWE TV for a number of months, and at WrestleMania 35 when he defeated Daniel Bryan and raised the WWE Championship surrounded by his children for the first time, it was all worth it. </p>

<p>Merely months later, at the launch of SmackDown on FOX in October 2019,  Kofi Kingston&#8217;s title reign came to an abrupt end when he was defeated by Brock Lesnar in a matter of seconds, something that led to backlash and outrage from fans around the world. </p>



<p>The worst part was, that Kingston was then never given a rematch for the title that he was basically screwed out of. Many believed that this was done as a way to promote the move and because Brock Lesnar was seen as a much bigger draw than Kingston.</p>



<p>Former WWE writer Dave Schilling recently revealed on his Twitter page that despite knowing that this would lead to backlash, WWE&#8217;s plan was always to end Kingston&#8217;s Championship reign this way. </p>
