Rumors On A Big WM35 Match For Owens, News On Kofi’s Momentum
Kofi Kingston’s momentum could end up deciding what The WWE Title Match at WrestleMania 35 is. There is some truth to the rumors of a returning Kevin Owens possibly challenging WWE Champion “The New” Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania, according to @Wrestlevotes. However, the situation was described as “fluid” and it was noted that nothing for The WWE Title Match at WrestleMania is set in stone as of now.
It was also noted that Kofi’s ongoing wave of momentum could still shake things up. A source noted to @Wrestlevotes that they wouldn’t be shocked to see Kingston vs. Bryan for The WWE Title at WrestleMania 35.
As previously reported, Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio earlier this week that there was talk of having a returning Superstar as Bryan’s WrestleMania challenger, instead of someone he has already been feuding with. There was speculation on everyone from Owens to Sami Zayn, Bray Wyatt, Batista and even names like The Undertaker, John Cena & WWE Hall Of Famer Kurt Angle, who is also rumored for a retirement match at WrestleMania.
Kofi is currently scheduled to challenge Bryan for The WWE Title at WWE Fastlane on March 10th, which will be the final PPV Event before WrestleMania 35. Kofi was not the original choice for Bryan’s Fastlane opponent. As of Monday morning, Bryan was to face another Superstar at Fastlane but plans were changed on Monday afternoon due to the reactions to Kofi’s performance in last Tuesday’s Gauntlet Match on SmackDown LIVE and then his performance at The Elimination Chamber PPV Event on Sunday.
