Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston will sign the contract for their Fastlane match on tonight's SmackDown, live on Sky Sports Arena at 1am.

Kingston came close to pulling off what would have been a shock victory over Bryan at the Elimination Chamber earlier this month as he almost dethroned the WWE champion.

The New Day member has pinned Bryan on the past two episodes of SmackDown, with Bryan's pinfall win in the Chamber preserving his eco-friendly championship.

Kingston's momentum has been surging for the past several weeks to the point where he has been proposed as a contender for a WrestleMania match with Bryan.

What will happen when the two sign on the dotted line tonight?

The pair will now get a chance to double down on their emphatic victory when Gargano squares off against Cesaro on the blue brand this week.

The Swiss Cyborg will surely look to quell Johnny Wrestling's upward climb, but with Sheamus and NXT world champion Ciampa in their partners' respective corners it's safe to assume that the playing field will be level.

Ricochet & Black have teamed up on a few occasions, most recently during NXT's Halftime Heat, while Nakamura & Rusev came together several weeks ago out of mutual disdain for new United States Champion R-Truth.
