Kofi Kingston vs Brock Lesnar

• Please send all condolences to Kofi Kingston's POP Fund, providing the Power of Positivity to people who lack said positivity.
• After a little while, a terrified Kingston enters the ring and the bell rings. Kingston tries to use his quickness, and it does for for a while as he evades a trip to Suplex City, BI. Problem: Brock Lesnar feels no pain.
• Suplex City, BI is opened as the Germans start. After the third, Lesnar stands over his prey, picks it up, and delivers the F5 for the win.

As Lesnar leaves, he spots Kingston getting back up...so he delivers another German and F5 for good measure. Xavier Woods and Big E try to save their fallen comrade, but they are each F5'd for their troubles.
