Is it just me or is Kofi REALLY over?

Like, the first big pop I remember was at last years draft in Atlanta, and I knew he got over feuding with Orton, then it died down a small amount with the de-push after the feud. When he got eliminated at the Rumble by Cena, people booed, then when Cena got the Codebreaker right after, people cheered that. The crowd reaction to him at Wrestlemania was great when he got on the ladders as "stilts." When he "won" the IC belt on Smackdown after McIntyre took it back, there was definitely crowd involvement there (helps that him and Christian both put on a good match, of course) but the reaction at Over The Limit when he came out, let alone when he won (which shocked the hell outta me that he went over Drew) is enough for me to ask you guys opinion.

Dude seems like a real company guy, a buddy of mine works in the E and says that Kofi is always doing everything he can with the company, events, etc. He's like a younger John Cena in THAT aspect at least. He's respected in the locker room by all the vets, and Triple H loves the guy.

We have Swagger as a champ which was a HUGE surprise after him not even being on TV that much the weeks leading up so, my question is, assuming Michael Hayes isn't a factor, when will they give him a run with the WHC? Does he need to change his character slightly? Heel turn (which fixes EVERYTHING in the IWC)? New music? Be more serious as a character? Because that Orton feud definitely helped with that. What do you guys think?
