6 WrestleMania 34 Matches You Can't Believe You Care About

6. The US Title Match

Initially, it looked like we were getting a Triple Threat pitting Randy Orton against Jinder Mahal and Bobby Roode. This isn't a terrible match, and made sense from a storyline standpoint, but it's hard to imagine anyone was particularly fired up by it. At his worst, Orton is one of the least compelling performers in the company, nobody likes 'The Maharaja,' and the not-quite-as-Glorious-as-he-once-was Roode has had his appeal stripped away on the main roster.

Nonetheless, this match has been given the kiss of life. A big, sexy, hair, Bulgarian kiss of life.

Rusev is a tremendous addition. He's one of the most popular acts in the company at the moment, and his chants dominate every show. Including him feels deserved, makes perfect sense, and has all but saved the bout's interest levels, even if it's still likely to be an all-out headlock fest when Jinder, Randy, and Bobby are on the offensive.

Instead of a toilet break, there's now a chance we'll get 'The Bulgarian Brute's' US Title coronation - on Rusev Day, no less - returning him to his former glory, and placing him back where he belongs. Or Orton may just RKO him in 10 seconds again. It could go either way...
