Bobby Lashley has held the United States Title since Money In The Bank in July. Thus far, his babyface title run has been full of worthy bouts against everyone from The Miz and Austin Theory to AJ Styles and Seth Rollins. Speaking of a certain Mr. Rollins...

...he's the next champ-in-waiting, surely.

Seth will clash with Lashley again on Monday's "season premiere" edition of Raw. There, fans should expect WWE to book a hasty title switch and start focusing on Rollins as the brand's top male champion (Roman Reigns ain't exactly gonna be there every single week).

A US Title win could honestly be viewed as a reward to Seth for putting Matt Riddle over inside the 'Fight Pit' at Extreme Rules. Here's hoping Hunter doesn't think special ref Daniel Cormier would be a fine opponent for Rollins, by the way. He was a weak add-on over the weekend, and WWE fans don't seem interested in him.
