10 Matches We Need To See At WWE Hell In A Cell 2016

2. United States Championship Match: Roman Reigns (C) Vs. Chris Jericho

Roman Reigns is the brand-new United States Champion, and it's time for a brand-new feud. Given that Reigns, as a top guy, has feuded with most of the heels on Raw, there aren't that many fresh matches for him. There is one program, though, that's glaringly obvious and ought to be seized while the opportunity is right.

Chris Jericho is currently the best heel that WWE has. He's a master of getting everything he does over, getting the reaction he wants from the crowd, and making his opponents look good - which Reigns could use. He's also the best friend of the current Universal Champion, which has been giving him cause to walk around Raw like he owns the place.

A feud with Jericho would undoubtedly make Reigns look good and could help further elevate the United States Title. Plus, there's be no compulsion to make Jericho look good - Reigns could easily beat him at Hell in a Cell and win again at Survivor Series, and Jericho wouldn't suffer.

And hey, maybe it is a longshot that Jericho could get fans supporting Reigns instead of him, but it would at least be fun to see Y2J in a major feud.
