Rusev cannot retain the United States Championship
Trending
The fans are cheering for Roman Reigns. Yes, you heard me correctly. If there is a monster heel in this company right now, it is the Russian brute and his lovely wife Lana. WWE took a page from themes from the past and made Reigns the man who has to defend Old Glory.
It is the perfect role for him as he begins to finally win the fans over. There is only one problem with that. He has to win on Sunday or he will lose their support. The company did the right thing in taking him out of the main event picture. Rusev offers him a chance to finally be built as a hero – something facing Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose did not allow him to accomplish. He has to win Sunday night or all is lost.
After the series with Rusev, if he is still champion, a program with Kevin Owens would be huge.
