I was honestly glad when Rey Mysterio and Andrade both stepped up to challenge R-Truth for the prestigious United States Championship. Or should I say once-prestigious US title, back when John Cena held it and it wasn't the joke it is at the moment.
You will think that I'm a hater, but hear me out for a second, folks. I really think that as talented as R-Truth is, having the title around his shoulders just devalues it somewhat and Andrade or Mysterio could have elevated the title significantly.

Therefore, I wanted a title change to have taken place during this segment so that either of the men could have won the strap and taken it all the way to WrestleMania 35. But R-Truth retained the belt and in my opinion, this is a step back.
I'm certain however that one of the two challengers will become US Champion soon.
