There has been a lot of hype around Kofi Kingston in recent weeks. After his performance inside the Elimination Chamber over the weekend, coming close to a WWE Title victory, fans have begun to speculate as to whether or not Kingston will challenge Bryan for the title at WrestleMania 35.
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio commented on the situation recently. Meltzer revealed that the new No. 1-contender for Bryan’s title will be determined on tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live. While plans could change, there’s no indication that Kingston is one of the Superstars being considered for the match at either Fastlane or WrestleMania. Instead, Superstars being considered for the match include Bray Wyatt, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Kurt Angle, John Cena, Batista, and The Undertaker.
Meltzer noted Zayn is ready to return, and although Batista was not interested in going to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), he has not reached a deal with WWE as of a week ago. It was also noted that Cena is not likely, as they have other plans for him at the event. As for The Undertaker, talks of an appearance from “The Deadman” at “The Show Of Shows” began again this past weekend. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.
