Given the massive wave of support that Kingston had leading up to the match, it's no wonder that fans celebrated on Twitter after seeing The New Day member become a world champion.

"Kofi Kingston is OFFICIALLY an African-American Grand Slam Champion in the WWE. KOFIMANIA IS LITTTTT," @AlishaWithFlair tweeted.

"A kid who looks like us saw Kofi Kingston win the WWE Championship at WrestleMania and it likely inspired him to chase the same dream... and know it's possible. What a night," new WWE signee Stokely Hathaway wrote.

"#KofiMania is real!!!!!! Kofi Kingston #WWE CHAMPION!!!!! Moments like this are everything," Scott Fishman wrote.

"Kofi Kingston is the champion!! " @alecrac wrote, posting a gif of the KofiMania logo.
