5 worst title changes in Clash of Champions (and Night of Champions) history

#2 Roman Reigns defeats Rusev for the United States Championship (Clash of Champions 2016)

Roman Reigns is a one-time US Champion

It was difficult deciding whether or not this should be in the number one or number two spot on the countdown, but I eventually went with number two because although it was a travesty to have WWE have Roman Reigns pull a John Cena on Rusev, the damage was already done and Rusev was a dead fish anyway. It pains me to say it, but Rusev was on borrowed time. When he won the US Title for a second time in May of 2016, it looked like he was finally getting back on track and would become a player again in WWE. Boy, was that wrong.

After three pretty strong months as champion, Roman Reigns decided to be a jerk (in true John Cena fashion) and ruined Rusev and Lana’s wedding reception. It led to a match at Clash of Champions two months later, because WWE thought it would be a good idea to have Rusev try to duck and run away from Reigns instead of taking on the challenge like the monster of a man that he was. As soon as Roman got a shot, he won, and Rusev failed to win it back. Roman would lose the title to Chris Jericho a few months later in a handicap match against Jericho and Kevin Owens.

What did Rusev do next, you ask? Oh, that feud with Enzo Amore that accomplished nothing for anybody and was a waste of everybody’s time.
