4. Rusev to feud with Shinsuke Nakamura

Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura fought for the US Championship in a match no one expected to see at WWE Crown Jewel.

Despite the little build up that the match received, Rusev and Nakamura did the best that they could. The two stars have a unique chemistry, and it was clear throughout the entire match. The WWE creative team may choose to take advantage of the clear chemistry between the two stars and have them engage in a feud.

Nakamura has had very few legitimate challengers and feuding with Rusev will give him more credibility. The ending of the match gave the clearest indication that the creative team might choose to pursue this feud further.

The feud would also be good for Rusev especially if he can win the US Championship and make Rusev Day even more popular than it is at the moment. If the WWE goes down this path, Aiden English will be the biggest loser since he will be relegated to the back of the line.

If the WWE can incorporate English into the title picture, it would be more beneficial to everyone involved.
