Kofi Kingston has hand-picked the Superstar that will face him for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam, and it's none other than "The Viper" Randy Orton.

Tonight on SmackDown, Kofi brought up the history they have together, and accused Orton of using his influence to hold him back from the main event when he seemed poised to reach the next level during their first feud back in 2009.

Randy admitted that he did, because he didn't think Kingston was ready - and he still doesn't.

Orton then sat ringside for Kofi's match with Samoa Joe, but when he attempted to get involved and forced a DQ, the New Day member blasted him with Trouble In Paradise and stood tall with the title.
