Kofi Kingston has some major momentum coming out of Elimination Chamber, and Tuesday night on SmackDown Live it was announced that Kofi will challenge Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at Fastlane next month. Everyone seems to be behind Kofi Kingston at the moment, with the exception of Rusev. The former United States Champion recently took to Twitter to tell fans that #KofiMania is not a real thing.
#KofiMania is not a real thing and never will be!
