10 WWE US Title Matches You Should Try To Forget
8. The Miz Vs. Montel Vontavious Porter - Royal Rumble 2010
In the 13-years that have passed since the United States Championship has returned to WWE, there have been a number of pay-per-view title matches that were just 'there'.
You know, the sorts of matches that take up eight minutes or so on the card but pass like ships in the night, meaning not a single thing to the landscape of the company or the fans that pay to watch them.
The Miz vs. MVP at the 2010 Royal Rumble is probably the best example of this. There was a space on the card, so how better to fill it than with a title match that means nothing? It wasn't necessarily a bad match, just immensely basic and therefore disappointing from two men who had been with the company a long time at this point.
MVP had lost most of what made his character engaging at this point, and was pretty much a vanilla babyface and not much else. Miz was still finding his feet as a singles performer, and it would take a faux-firing and return later in the summer before he would truly catch fire.
As for the match itself? Well, nothing to see here. Move on. Next.
