Heel brilliance from Rusev has been saving Reigns

The United States championship got a big elevation thanks to the involvement of Roman Reigns and Rusev. Roman showing up in the US title scenario was a surprise for many fans but at the same time, it was perhaps the best path for him after losing to Finn Balor in the WWE Universal Championship qualifier match. Rusev, to his credit, has been playing the heel role perfectly, which in turn has helped Roman get some love from the fans.

It would be surprising if Reigns does not walk away with the title from SummerSlam, but from a fan point of view, it once again puts Reigns under the ‘superman booking’ category which could work against him to a certain extent. But as mentioned earlier, Rusev’s heel brilliance will be the difference here.
