5 Possible challengers for Shinsuke Nakamura's United States Championship

#3 R-Truth

Didn't even have to pin Carmella

R-Truth is 46 years old.

You wouldn't know it if you saw his main-event match against The Miz last week.

He has always been an outrageously entertaining character, and he proved last week that he can still wrestle at a very very high level.

Having spent weeks trying to pin Carmella to gain a United States Championship match, he entered a truce of sorts with her last week. Perhaps R-Truth has realized that she makes a better ally than opponent he will never be allowed to face? Perhaps it was due to a mutual dislike of the Miz and Maryse. It doesn't matter; the fact remains that they are a team for the foreseeable future, and will compete on Season Two of WWE's Mixed Match Challenge.

R-Truth is an excellent candidate to face Shinsuke Nakamura; he is over with the crowd, fun to watch in the ring, and has been chasing the United States Championship for a while. His only fault? Going about getting a match in the wrong way.

But no matter, perhaps Carmella can help get R-Truth a United States Championship match if only to prevent him from challenging her to a match again.
