Remember Titus ONeil? He was a guy who won numerous father of the year awards and received other recognitions for being a humanitarian. Then he playfully grabbed Vince McMahons arm during Raw and got suspended through WrestleMania, disappearing from WWE television even beyond his suspension, save for a couple commercials (and a battle royal appearance).

Monday, Titus rushed the ring after United States Champion Rusev ran down America because, what else would a heel U.S. champ do on Memorial Day and knocked the Bulgarian Blowhard (his words) out of the ring. Just like that, we have an instant feud between Titus and Rusev. And thats just fine.

No one is expecting ONeil to suddenly Gator Bark his way into a singles title, nor is anyone expecting this feud to set the world on fire, but its a good thing to see Titus getting a notable program after enduring his suspension.
