Last night on SmackDown LIVE, we may just have seen Kofi Kingston move one step closer to challenging WWE Champion “The New” Daniel Bryan for The WWE Title at WrestleMania 35.
WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon announced during last night’s show that Kofi Kingston must win a Gauntlet Match on next Tuesday’s episode of SmackDown LIVE from Indianapolis to earn a WWE Title Match at WrestleMania. He will go up against Randy Orton, WWE United States Champion Samoa Joe, The Bar (Sheamus & Cesaro) & Rowan. Below are the photos and the videos from last night’s main event segment featuring Vince McMahon & The New Day:
