Now that he is a part of the match, the audience cannot help but wonder if he will come out of the match as a two-time WWE Champion. In fact, he entered the qualifying match against The Miz by cashing in on his previous run as the WWE Champion.

However, if Kofi wants to win, he will not only have to battle McIntyre, but Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and Sheamus. All of these Superstars have shown interest in holding the title. It will not be an easy task for him to emerge victorious considering the Superstars he’s going up against.

That being said, it is unlikely WWE will put Kofi Kingston over Drew McIntyre. Right now, the WWE Universe is waiting with anticipation for Edge to declare whom he is challenging. Therefore, it doesn’t seem likely the company will change champions at Elimination Chamber, regardless of whether it’s Raw or SmackDown.
