Jeff Hardy has been the United States champion since April

#1 Andrade “Cien” Almas

Andrade "Cien" Almas held the NXT Championship for 140 days

Andrade “Cien” Almas made an impressive start to life on the main roster, defeating local talent Jake Constantinou in just 79 seconds on last week’s episode of SmackDown Live.

Unless WWE decides to have the Mexican compete in similar matches while he establishes himself on the blue brand, it wouldn’t be the worst idea to immediately insert him into a United States Championship storyline with Jeff Hardy.

Almas is one of the best in-ring performers in WWE right now and a match – and title win – against Jeff would certainly help solidify the former NXT champion as someone to be taken seriously on SmackDown Live.
