Although there had been conflicting reports about who'd be facing Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at the Fastlane PPV in the buildup to SmackDown LIVE, we found out tonight that it will indeed be Kofi Kingston.
Fans were already behind the former IC and Tag-Team Champion heading into Elimination Chamber, but after his amazing performance in that brutal match, the campaign to get him a one-on-one shot at Bryan's title intensified.
In tonight's main event, Kingston pinned "The Planet's Champion" in a six-man tag-match, before Shame McMahon made it official: Kofi will face Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at the final pay-per-view on the road to WrestleMania.
