While I'm pretty sure no one really expected to see Henry win this one, it was good to see the veteran strong man back in action. Having Rusev defend his title against someone the caliber and size of Mark Henry did justice for his United States title.
Rusev needs to continue to defend the U.S. title against superstars of at least the same status as Henry, if the company truly wants to elevate the overall image and legitimacy of the championship.

The post-match actions by Roman Reigns will only make the status of the title even better and put the title in a better light moving forward. This is a smart move all the way around.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
