WrestleMania 35: Predicting the match card

6) Rusev (c) v/s Shinsuke Nakamura v/s Rey Mysterio v/s Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas v/s Mustafa Ali v/s Kofi Kingston – 6 Men Ladder Match for the United States Championship

The United States Championship deserves a Ladder match

Yes, you read it right. Rusev has defeated Shinsuke Nakamura to become the new United States Champion. The match will air on the Christmas Day edition of SmackDown Live. Whether Rusev will lose the title back to Nakamura to have the fans invested in the latter’s reign or whether he will serve as the United States Champion we all deserved for a long time remains to be seen. In both cases, this match seems to be a definite possibility.

With the McMahons recently announcing fresher matchups and execution of fan’s demands, bringing back the ladder match seems inevitable. The MITB ladder match was one of the most anticipated matches of Mania before it got its own PPV.

There have been several ladder matches in recent years, with the IC title being on the line in both WrestleMania 31 and 32 and the RAW Tag Team titles being defended under the same stipulation at WrestleMania 33.

On the other hand, except for Kevin Owens v/s Chris Jericho, the US Title has not received nice rivalries and stipulations at the Showcase of Immortals. The Fatal 4 Way match which took place earlier this year between Randy Orton, Bobby Roode, Jinder Mahal and Rusev was one of the worst matches of the night. The US title has been neglected a lot lately and it is in need of a serious reboot.

Mustafa Ali, who has been a recent addition to the SmackDown Live roster, is set for a huge push and so is Almas. Rusev and Shinsuke should continue their rivalry till the Royal Rumble PPV before Mysterio, Kingston, Almas and Ali are added to it.

This will give the company enough time to hype the match. The superstar heading into Mania as the champion can even defend the title against stars like R-Truth, Miz, Tye Dillinger and even John Cena to prove his dominance. All the superstars involved in this match are extremely talented and can give us a match to remember.

Having Almas, Ali and Kingston soar through the skies of New Jersey in order to win the title will surely add to its prestige. The ending moments of the match can have Mustafa Ali and Rey Mysterio fighting on top of the ladder, when Almas throws the ladder down and gets an upset victory over both ‘The Heart and Soul of 205 Live’ and ‘The Biggest Little Man’.

It will serve justice to all men involved, as Almas will finally get a title run on the main roster which was long overdue, while Ali and Mysterio will come out strong and can continue to feud with Almas for the US Title, just like the Elias/Ambrose case mentioned previously.

Winner and NEW United States Champion: Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas
