Boom! Boom! Boom! When freshly minted United States Champion
Kofi Kingston captured the title last Monday night from
MVP, it was as if the clouds had finally parted and a ray of Caribbean sunshine shone brightly upon him. (
WATCH)
Unfortunately for Kingston, a set of storm clouds appear to be looming. As first reported by
WWE Mobile Alerts, the new United States Champion will be forced at Extreme Rules to defend his title in a Fatal Four Way Match featuring The Franchise Playa’,
William Regal and
Matt Hardy.
The Jamaican Superstar defeated former champion MVP on
Raw just six days prior to Extreme Rules. While these two Superstars share an obviously mutual respect for each other, the other two participants seem to have respect for no one but themselves. Regal and Hardy have lately ingratiated themselves with Raw General Manager
Vickie Guerrero, which may explain why each now finds himself involved in the title match. After all, the Englishman helped Vickie capture the Miss
WrestleMania crown when he attacked Santina during their title match. Then, with just six days left until Vickie was set to defend her tiara against Santina at Extreme Rules, Regal and Hardy schemed together to viciously attack Santina’s “twin brother” Santino.
While a Fatal Four Way Match generally fosters an every-man-for-himself ethos, it will be intriguing to watch just how the dynamic shakes down between these two tentative alliances. And if alliances do surface, they will inevitably be tested since there can only be one to emerge as United States champion.
Will the Jamaican Superstar continue to ride the lightning or will one of his three opponents rain on his parade?
