      Kofi is like the "anti-Kane" in that regard: Kane has, overall, eliminated so many people over so many Royal Rumbles yet somehow always wound up never winning one; Kofi has found so many brilliant ways to NOT be eliminated , yet has never won one. It is Alpha Offense vs. Alpha Defense, and neither one getting what they deserve!

I'm calling Kacy Catanzaro will essentially become the female version of John Morrison, and Kofi Kingston meaning she'll be a human-highlight reel when it comes to the Royal Rumble/Battle Royal match due to her using her agility to avoid getting eliminated in the most innovated/creative ways ever seen.

    You know, everyone seems to think Big E is the one who will turn on the New Day, but I'm not so sure. I think I'd almost rather see Xavier turn.

Or just turn the whole stable heel. I'm ok with that, too.
