As many of us expected was coming the second Kevin Owens aligned with New Day, and especially since turning on them last week, KO has himself a WWE Championship match against Kofi at the MITB ppv.

As is the case with AJ Styles being Seth Rollins' first opponent since winning the Universal Championship, Owens is a perfectly fine choice for Kofi's first WWE Championship program. it should be an entertaining match, Owens is great as the sociopathic heel while Kofi is a great, upbeat babyface.

Also, as with the Universal Championship match, I fully expect Kofi to walk out of his bout with Owens as champion but might not walk out of the event as champion, it partially depends on if this match happens after the men's MITB ladder match. Still, even if this match happens after the MITB ladder match, I think Kofi will leave as champion since, as with Rollins, there'd be a bit of an anti-climactic feel if Kofi didn't even make it to a full month as WWE Champion after all that build up for WrestleMania.
