The Bad: United States Championship segment

Jinder Mahal, Randy Orton, Bobby Rhoode,
Will WrestleMania 34 be Glorious?

While WWE may or may not be going in the wrong direction by putting Bobby Rhoode anywhere near a title opportunity right now, the biggest problem with the segment between him, Jinder Mahal and Randy Orton was the fact that it felt unbelievably rushed and almost a complete redo from Monday Night Raw's IC title picture.

Not only that, Randy Orton barely got a word in before the whole thing devolved into a brawl with Orton and Roode having a staredown to end the segment. With that being said, it wasn't all bad, as Orton and Roode blocking each others finishers was a nice touch, but it wasn't enough to make the segment particularly entertaining.

In the end, Orton is carrying this feud and that's a really bad thing for WWE if they actually want Rhoode to go over at the end of this storyline. Unfortunately for the company, Roode is pretty much only an entrance and even The WWE Universe is starting to pick up on that disappointing fact.

Whether WWE can pull this out or not remains to be seen, but they don't seem to be doing anything interesting with the storyline at the moment.
