I noticed a trend with Kofi Kingston, and it appears to be continuing. It seems that when Kofi loses a title, they automatically give him another.
It appears Kofi is gonna get a feud going on with Antonio, and probably will win the US Title yet again.
Why is it with Kofi, that all they do with him is have him win title after title?? From IC, to Tag, to US, to IC, to Tag, to IC, it seems that's how they book Kofi. And after a while, that gets stale.
Is Kofi Kingston a guy that is ready to be a WWE or World Champion?? Or is the IC/US/Tag title thing the best he will have??
And if so, does that mean he will eventually be released, because there is nothing else for him to do??

i can see kofi as a great WHC. Always have and always will. But idk what there doing to him. i dont wanna sound like a complete idiot or i see racism in everything , But i see a pattern with wwe and black wrestlers. Ic title, us title, tag team title, and when there about to retire or when they've been in the WWE for like 15 years A realllllllly short WHC reign. Only exception with the WHC reign was Mark Henry. His reign was legitimate.....idk wtf they did with bookers reign

Kofi is literally the most successful transitional champion of all time.

Basically the mindset in creative is, "We don't know what to do with our midcard titles and don't have a storyline for them yet"..."So, let's put them on someone who is fairly over with the crowd and who we know can lose the title clean while we try to figure out our next storyline/star to push."... Think about it, he is the definition of "Transitional Champ". He is used to not only take the title off of someone who is floundering or creative has "other plans" for, but also to lose a title to someone that creative would like to start a storyline with; hence, Kofi has never had an actual storyline/feud with anyone that involves a title because he is THE transitional champion of the Mid-Card. He is GOLD for a lengthy tag team runs but he just never finds the perfect partner (even he and RTruth were just placeholders until a lightbulb went off and creative came up with "Hell No")
Poor Kofi... the only way he would EVER be a WHC or WWE Champ is if he had some kind of storyline build up...which he is NEVER given.

He's probably had more titles than genuinely important promos at this point. No wonder he's not over. They are throwing titles on him yet not giving him a chance to speak. express his opinion or try to get over with the audience.
Stupid booking as usual.

He is pretty over,there's a saying;'actions speak louder than words and that's what got him over.Sometimes not saying anything is better than speaking a load of garbage.

I'm thinking he should lose the feud with Cesaro and then go onto a bit of a title hunt or losing streak, maybe just a feud with someone, dosnt need to involve a title.
Leading to Kofi wining Money in the Bank as well as turning heel making his way up to winning the WHC.

I like Kofi. I think a Kofi vs. Cesaro feud could do well for both of them. If I had to book it, though, I would have Cesaro feud with Justin Gabriel to get him back on the map. Gabriel is over well, too when he's actually on TV.

Well, Kofi win the US Title.
He can hold onto it until losing it, and then find another partner and win the tag belts.
Then he can lose them and go on to win the IC Title again.
Ugh.... "same old sh*t, same old sh*t"

He's like that guy you use to make a mid carder look good and little more.
Pissed Cesaro lost the belt, but to be fair he has truly failed to connect with the crowd and carve a character out for himself (I say that as a fan of the guy).
I feel Kofi will drop this to a shield member before long. Transitional champ written all over him.

The problem I have with Kofi is that even though WWE won't push him any higher, they put him on a pedestal compared to every other midcard face, aside from maybe The Miz and R-Truth, and that's only because the two of them previously enjoyed a push in the main event and are coasting off of their heat from that. No other midcarder gets to be booked nearly as strongly as Kofi, and he just wins the titles over and over again, and none of the other midcard faces get a chance to run with the belt. Maybe Kofi is better in the ring or more over than Brodus, Tensai, Ryder, Riley, Santino, or Gabriel, but quite frankly ALL of them should be pushed up to his level of credibility to give the appearance of competition for spots.
If Kofi was just going to be a transitional champion, they could've given the belt to anyone. I don't see why it had to be Kofi, AGAIN.

I can't say I'm surprised Kofi won another mid card title he is like the king of the mid card belts being a 7x champ between IC and US without winning a world title..
I am sad that Cesaro lost however maybe he is going to do more?..
I have my doubts about that but with a face as a mid card champ I think someone like Fandango, Cody, Sandow, or a Shield member winning it off of Kofi could very well happen in a few months.
If so, expect Kofi to win the IC or Tag Team titles < 6 months later..

Step 1: Mid-card heel holds belt
Step 2: Kofi beats him for it
Step 3: Kofi loses belt within 90 days to another heel
Step 4: Kofi gets another mid-card title shot against another heel champion within 4-6 months of losing title
Step 5: repeat steps 1 through 4*
*If Kofi is part of a tag team, steps 1 through 4 are still applicable.

I bet Cesaro will now become even more irrelevant and will soon job on Superstars. They built him up so well but not ugh ...
