3 things fans learned from this week's WWE episodes (26 and 27 November 2018)

#2 The United States Championship will finally have a decent feud after a long time

The President of Nakamerica vs The Bulgarian Brute

Since Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States Championship from Jeff Hardy at Extremes Rules earlier this year, the belt has not seen a proper feud. He had just been using the belt as a prop, carrying it around whenever he makes his occasional appearance on TV.

Since SummerSlam, the championship has not been defended on any pay-per-view with a proper storyline. There were some occasional matches against Tye Dillinger and Rey Mysterio, but those were below par, and were only done to let fans know that the United States Championship still exists.

This week on SmackDown, a match was scheduled between Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura, but even before the match started, the President of Nakamerica attacked The Bulgarian Brute from behind, which resulted in Rusev not being able to compete in the match further.

This type of messy finishes is common and over-used in WWE, but this time it could be given the green signal because finally the storyline between them could proceed further, and we can finally see the championship being treated with deference, as Nakamura now has to defend it on a regular basis.
