JAM: Kofi Kingston. The way his momentum is continuing to build, I don’t think it’s wise to hurt it by shortening his reign right before the big FOX move.

If anything, his presence might help this whole initiative to focus more on wrestling that FOX is rumored to be pushing.

Kofi’s gotten over so well during his reign simply because he keeps putting on spectacular matches. If he can keep doing that into October, then I say keep the title on him for awhile longer and allow him to be this accessible gateway for incoming, new fans to enjoy.

BG: That’s an easy one. It should still be Kofi Kingston, plain and simple. I don’t see any reason why it should be anyone else to be honest.

I will say, however, that there should be a different Universal Champion. I’m sure all the major titles are going to be represented in some way on the first Fox show and Seth Rollins should be the superstar repping the Universal Title.

He deserves another chance to have some memorable storylines with the belt to help erase the memory of his first uneven reign.

PC: Kofi Kingston. Brett and JAM have already given some great reasons, but I don’t think this is a complicated question. It’s Kofi. Period.
