Even though most fans assumed he'd win, witnessing Kofi Kingston become WWE Champion for the first time tonight was a very special moment.
Kofi and Daniel Bryan had a hell of a match, with some believable near falls and plenty of emotion - and the fans were fully engaged from bell to bell. Though Rowan and the other New Day members did mix it up on the outside, there was no interference in the actual decision. Kofi simply out-maneuvered his opponent, showed some extra aggression by using Bryan's head-stomps against him, and finally hit Trouble in Paradise for the clean vitory.
Afterwards, Woods and Big E presented their brother with the orignal WWE Championship that Bryan trashed, and all three of them celebrated in the ring with Kofi's sons.
Massive congrats to Kofi Kingston.
