First African To Win Wrestlemania by blackmaine: 9:54pm On Apr 27, 2019
Koffi’s victory at WrestleMania is a thing of pride for many African Americans and most especially for his brothers and sisters back home n Ghana, his country of Origin.

After a long career in wrestling and an exhausting journey to WrestleMania 35, Kofi Kingston defeated Daniel Bryan to become the new WWE Championship.

Kofi fell Bryan in grand style to conclude their epic match at the biggest show in WWE’s year.

At the end, Big E and Xaiver Woods came up to the ring and gave Kingston a new belt with his names on the side plates.

Big E and Xavier Woods also gave Kofi brand new shirts featuring the New Day and the WWE Championship.

Kofi proceeded to celebrate with his sons in the ring. He was such a happy father and his sons were proud of their father’s accomplishment.

The road to Kofi’s championship match at ‘Mania began in the weeks and days that led to the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.

After replacing the injured Mustafa Ali, Kingston outlasted Jeff Hardy, Daniel Bryan, Samoa Joe, before he fell to AJ Styles in a Gauntlet match on one of the episode of ‘SmackDown Live’.

That was the begining of Kofi’s momentum towards the WWE Championship. He was one of two fighters remaining in the Elimination Chamber match for the title before he was pinned by Daniel Bryan.

Following his display in the Elimination Chamber, “Kofi-mania” started to spread.

Kingston pinned Daniel Bryan in a six-man tag match and earned a match at Fastlane but Mr. McMahon replaced him with the returning Kevin Owens because KO was more “box office” than Kofi.

At the Fastlane pay-per-view, Kofi Kingston and the New Day pleaded with Mr. McMahon for them to be inserted in the WWE Championship match between Bryan and Kevin Owens but was tricked into a handicap match against The Bar.

New Day would take over SmackDown the following Tuesday to force a confrontation between the trio and Mr. McMahon.

Vince gave Kofi his gauntlet match but screwed him out of WrestleMania by adding a sixth unannounced fighter into the bout, Daniel Bryan.

Koffi Kingston’s real names are Kofi Nahaje Sarkodie-Mensah, and he is a Ghanain-America. He was born on 14th of August 1981, in Kumasi, Ghana. His latest achievement in the sports of wrestling will add his name to the many Africans who have graced the world sports stage and have become champions and legends.

We at Afroconcepts designers are most proud of Koffi.
