He might be currently embroiled in feuds featuring both Seth Rollins and AJ Styles, but if Black isn't going to get a shot at Brock Lesnar then he needs to be in the running for the US Championship.

Black has an aura unlike most of the current full-time Superstars and he has proven his mettle in the ring numerous times. His times of beating the lower tier of the roster has passed and as we have seen, he has moved on to bigger and more dangerous opponents.

His direction for the Show of Shows is currently in limbo unless he somehow teams up with The Undertaker against The OC. But if he does not, Black cannot simply be shoehorned into the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale. He's moved slowly up the card and a natural progression for him would be to challenge the US Champion.

If it is still Andrade, then they have plenty of history from NXT to revisit. Black defeated El Idolo for the title and it essentially sent Andrade to the main roster. The two could easily rekindle the magic they had in their NXT title feud.

As he showcased with Murphy, Cesaro, Rowan, Styles and Rollins, Black is great in the ring and works well with any kind of Superstar. He just needs a shot at a title for him to truly be received as a main-eventer.
