Though Dolph Ziggler vows to take the spotlight from him at WWE Super ShowDown, WWE Champion Kofi Kingston is fighting for more than a title.

With his WWE Title defense against Dolph Ziggler only three nights away, Kofi Kingston arrived on SmackDown LIVE intent on making it clear that there was no way he would be succumbing to The Showoff at WWE Super ShowDown, especially after his homecoming to Ghana last week. Kingston stressed the importance of wanting the people of his home country to realize that anything was possible, but The Dreadlocked Dynamo was quickly interrupted by Ziggler.

Ziggler still insisted that Kofi’s storybook journey to the WWE Championship at WrestleMania should have been his, but Kingston fired back, saying that the reason the journey didn’t belong to Ziggler was because The Showoff was a quitter. Ziggler retorted by saying that at Super ShowDown this Friday, it would no longer be that “It should’ve been him,” because it would be him when he defeated Kingston for the WWE Title.

With tensions escalating, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn arrived, ready to rekindle their rivalry with The New Day, as their scheduled tag team match against Kingston & Xavier Woods was next.
