6 New Directions For Rusev After WWE Clash Of Champions 2016 Defeat
6. Reset, Reset, Reset
Can we not just go back a couple of days, have Rusev successfully defend the United States Championship against Roman Reigns and go on to defend it in hard-hitting matches against more credible opponents than Titus O'Neill and Zack Ryder? Just look at the RAW roster - there are plenty of guys for Rusev to face with that title on the line.
Sami Zayn, Cesaro, Sheamus, Neville, Big Cass and others constitute a fairly well-stocked midcard on the red show. Reigns will also benefit from the title and these matches, but it does feel like the latest desperate attempt by WWE to rehabilitate a performer who simply needs to turn heel.
Rusev and the United States Championship are a beautiful match, and the man looks fairly naked without the belt. Can we not simply have Rusev defeat Reigns for the belt (via shenanigans, if you must) and carry on his merry way?
