3 Pros and 2 Cons of Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev as a Tag Team in WWE Smackdown Live

#1 Pro: It will open up the United States Championship to new faces

A new face to carry United States Championship is the need of the hour

The reigns of Nakamura and Rusev as United States champions were underwhelming ones. Rusev didn’t get much time to prove and Nakamura even holding the championship for almost half a year couldn’t elevate the prestige of the title. It was more of a fault of WWE creative rather than of wrestlers.

It will be wise to WWE to put the United States championship on some new faces. R-Truth is only a transition champion. But beyond R-Truth, there is a plethora of talent in Smackdown Live who will be an ideal choice to carry the belt. It could be Mustafa Ali, Andrade or even the veteran like Rey Mysterio. Samoa Joe can also become new US Champ as a championship is long time overdue.
