#1. Kofi Kingston Wins the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35
WWE has built its reputation on emotion and storytelling. The greatest stories had the ideal combination of both elements. This was exactly what happened with KofiMania, which began with Kofi Kingston’s legendary performance in the Gauntlet match in February 2019.
KofiMania had the perfect fairytale ending. After passing through countless loops and hurdles, Kingston finally found himself opposite Bryan at WrestleMania 35. The stakes couldn’t have been higher as the WWE Championship was on the line, and the whole world was on Kofi Kingston’s side.
In a 25-minute thriller, Kingston and Bryan fought each other tooth and nail. But, in the end, the Dreadlocked Dynamo nailed the champion with the Trouble in Paradise to win the WWE Title. It was a feel-good moment that showcased everything that made WWE’s emotional storytelling memorable.
After 11 long years of unwavering commitment and dedication, Kingston had finally reached the top of the mountain. He made history that night, and his New Day brethren were alongside him for the emotional celebration.
