Kofi Kingston won two matches on Monday Night Raw

Kofi Kingston pinned Bobby Lashley in a non-title match during this week's WWE Raw.

Many would agree that amongst the most underrated WWE wrestlers, who rarely got their due, was definitely Kofi Kingston. Hence, the WWE Universe rejoiced for The New Day member as he received some major spotlight during this week's Monday Night Raw. Reigniting his heated feud with Randy Orton during a backstage segment, Kofi locked horns with The Viper and the two WWE superstars tried to dominate the other.

Eventually, Kingston's The New Day partner Xavier Woods proved to be a worthy distraction playing his trademark trombone Francesca as RKO was rolled up by Kofi for a quick pin. After his surprise win, Kofi was almost attacked by Randy before the latter's RKBro partner Riddle stopped him but not before shoving Woods himself. The duo then promptly left, visibly upset. Moreover, in the opening segment, WWE Champion Bobby Lashley, who defeated Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman at WrestleMania Backlash yesterday, i.e. May 17, IST, to retain his title, issued an open challenge through his The Hurt Business partner MVP.

While MVP claimed that Bobby's WrestleMania Backlash opponents couldn't be a part of Raw because of injuries sustained, Drew accepted the challenge only for MVP to state that The Scottish Superstar and The Monster Amongst Men were exempt from it. While Lashley tried to punch McIntyre, the latter ducked and instead threw the champ out of the ring as an objection to being excluded from The All Mighty's open challenge.

The main event eventually saw Kofi answering Bobby's open challenge instead, much to the champ's surprise and to the excitement of WWE fans. However, MVP played spoilsport and stated that it would be a non-title match between the duo. Xavier tried to cause a distraction yet again with his trombone Francesca but was asked to leave the ringside by the referee. Using a similar distraction tactic, MVP tried to hit Kingston with a cane only for Drew to interject by taking the cane away and striking Lashley instead. This allowed Kofi to roll up Lashley for an upset win.

Finally, it's Kofi's time to clobber up some much-deserved attention and fans rallied behind WWE's recent storyline push. Many highlighted WrestleMania 35 aka KofiMania, when Kofi won his first WWE Championship against Daniel Bryan and how he deserves another push again at the WWE title.
