8 Worthy Challengers for the US Title

#3 Rusev

Rusev’s “Rusev Day” gimmick which was introduced last year is still quite over with the fans. Rusev’s increasing popularity has resulted in him getting some amazing opportunities to prove himself. Rusev battled The Undertaker in a casket match at the Greatest Royal Rumble and also challenged AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at Extreme Rules.

Rusev is currently scheduled to team up with Aiden English in order to try and earn a shot at The Tag Team Championships at Hell in a Cell. If Rusev fails, however, he could enter the US title picture. Nakamura (face) and Rusev (heel) feuded earlier this year too which led to a match at Fastlane. Now that the roles are reversed as Nakamura is a heel and Rusev is a face, it would be interesting to see how this rivalry would play out.
