#2 Best: The U.S. Title Match

Rusev and Bobby Roode had a great match too

A babyface turn for Rusev has been a long time to come, quite honestly. It is also universally agreed that Roode is a much better heel than a babyface. We forgot all of that the minute the bell sounded. Roode and Rusev had a wonderful match.

Kudos to Bobby Roode, as always, for doing the basics right. He sold his back immediately following the spine buster because a man of his size would have to strain his back to lift someone like Rusev up. These little touches greatly augmented the match.

It's hard to pick if this match was better or the main event. Let us know in the comments what you thought!
