VIDEO: Kofi Kingston Beats Daniel Bryan for WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35
Kofi Kingston beat Daniel Bryan to win the WWE championship at Wrestlemania 35. It was the second pretty phenomenal moment at Mania this evening at MetLife Stadium. Kingston has been in WWE for 11 years, and until very recently when he began receiving a monster push this moment would have been borderline unfathomable.
In the match, Kofi overcame a number of obstacles — he wriggled out of Daniel Bryan’s finishing submission maneuver and also kicked out at two off of Bryan’s flying kick to the head.
The crowd went wild at the title change:
