Last week on SmackDown Live, it was announced that Kofi Kingston will challenge Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at Fastlane in Cleveland, Ohio.
Kingston and Bryan will be in the ring together this Tuesday for the official WWE Championship contract signing to make their match “official.”
Bryan vs. Kingston was not the original plan for Fastlane. In fact, the local advertising originally had Bryan defending against AJ Styles and Samoa Joe in a Triple Threat match. However, the crowd reaction to Kingston in recent weeks was enough for Vince McMahon to make the change.
Kingston has pinned Bryan on the last two episodes of SmackDown Live.
