3. Can Rusev/Reigns Close Strong?

The feud between Rusev and Roman Reigns over the United States Championship should be a hot ticket right now. The Bulgarian Brute spent a few months rehabbing his image during his latest U.S. title reign, and Roman (if you believe WWE) generates more of a reaction than any other superstar.

But the rivalry between the two took a bizarre turn last week, with Rusev showing his family album, luring Reigns out for a confrontation. It ended with Rusev sucker-kicking Roman and beating him down. Still, this just doesn’t feel like the epic confrontation it should be, and certainly not one that should be held inside Hell in a Cell.

However, they have Monday night to try to up the ante a little bit, hopefully without more photos or wedding cake.
