10 Huge Mistakes WWE Has Made Building Up To WrestleMania 32
8. Does The United States Championship Even Exist Anymore?
WWE made a concerted effort to regain the prestige of its minor singles championships when Daniel Bryan and John Cena won the Intercontinental and United States Championships respectively at WrestleMania 31. While it's unfortunate that Bryan's reign and career was cut short, the United States Championship had become a true feature of WWE programming as a result of smart booking.
It's a stark contrast just one year down the line, especially when it comes to the US Title which may as well not exist. In the space of a few months, the prestigious title has been demoted from being a weekly attraction as part of John Cena's United States Open Challenge to hardly been seen on Raw in the lead-up to WrestleMania 32.
Kalisto's matches with Alberto Del Rio since John Cena's initial absence were enough to keep fans interested, but the flip-flopping of short reigns between the pair has resulted in the US Title becoming little more than a footnote once again.
Factor in Kalisto's slow-moving, dull-as-can-be rivalry with Ryback, apparently culminating in a WrestleMania bout, and you've got a recipe for world class boredom. This should never be the case when a championship is at stake, especially before WWE biggest event of the year.
