WWE United States Championship #1 Contender's Match Set For Next Week's Raw
Two former champions will battle to determine who gets the next shot at the US title.
Former WWE United States Champions Bobby Lashley and Seth Rollins will lock up next week on Raw to determine the #1 contender for Austin Theory's US title.
The two superstars have been locked in a rivalry for a while now, with Rollins beating Lashley for the title in October, and Bobby playing a role in a couple of his defenses, including a triple threat at Survivor Series where Seth lost the title to Theory after a Lashley spear.
This Monday night, Rollins and Lashley sparred verbally and physically, with Seth taking shots at Bobby for losing to Brock Lesnar, triggering a brawl that saw Lashley accidentally spear producer Petey Williams.

What nullifies all of this was the realization that Mustafa Ali just simply talked his way into a US title match on the same episode, which makes you wonder who's the smart person here: the guys who fight each other repeatedly to earn the right to challenge for the title, or the guy who eggs the champ on backstage until he gets a title match?
Either way, Rollins/Lashley should be - as the kids say - a banger next week.
