Assuming the Fox deal was always in place, very believable that they'd had it penciled in for awhile for the debut. I am curious how long the Cain debut was planned tho

I had no problem with it, although I would've probably done it a little later to give Kofi more time with the belt.

Imagine it wasn't the plan but a wild anomaly that somehow played out on live television. THAT would be something else.

I believe the people involved think this would make the whole story "better", when it actually makes it way worse, but they'll never get why that is the case.

Is it really that bad to be squashed by Brock Lesnar (who could believably squash just about anyone) and go back to New Day?

Yes, yes it was. It's not just a squash. You could at least book maybe a 10 minute more competitive Match, so the Champion and his whole story going into Wrestlemania, which was one of the best stories over the last 10 years all fans where behind of, doesn't get kicked under the rug like a pile of dirt... which also kinda made it look like a punishment for Kofi getting too over and the Fans getting behind him too much, when he wasn't supposed to.

Was such a terrible way for Kofi to lose the title and Brock didn't need that level of credibility at all. Was just Vince being Vince...

The dumbest shit ever..

Lets kill this guy as a main eventer so we can bring in someone that will work one 3 minute match.

Kofi’s run was meh after the Randy Orton Summerslam finish but it deserved better than 8 seconds to wrap up

Kofi getting squashed by Brock honestly just sums up everything wrong with Vince in one match tbh

I was more annoyed with the aftermath of that situation. Like atleast when Becky squashed Bianca, they made it into a real good story.

Kofi just went back to throwing pancakes or whatever the next week, it was like Kofimania never happened. The guy just went back to tag matches, it was so dumb.

Every African American WWE Champion has lost the title to Brock Lesnar
