The WWE Universe wants Kofi Kingston added to the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania 35 ... but he was unable to earn that opportunity tonight on SmackDown.

Kingston defeated Sheamus, Cesaro, Rowan, Samoa Joe and Randy Orton in a gauntlet match on Tuesday night for a shot at Daniel Bryan's WWE Championship.

However ... Vince McMahon came out to announce Kingston had to beat one more opponent to go to WrestleMania -- Daniel Bryan.

The New Day veteran wrestled a competitive match with the champ, but ultimately fell victim to a running knee. This allowed Daniel Bryan to get the pinfall victory. 

Is this the end of KofiMania? Something tells us no.
