Predicting WWE's Champions At WrestleMania 34

6. United States Champion - Bobby Roode

Will Baron Corbin hold the WWE United States Championship all the way until WrestleMania 34? Absolutely not. Corbin’s push has been all over the place in 2017 - from winning the Money in the Bank briefcase to being rolled up by Jinder Mahal and losing his opportunity, from gaining the United States Championship to losing to Sin Cara. ‘Consistency’ is the last word that can be used to describe The Lone Wolf.

Corbin will get a couple of months of disappointing matches out of the championship, but a six month reign is not beckoning for him. SmackDown Live has plenty of options when it comes to men to rule the middle of the card, but Bobby Roode is the best of those.

There’s something about Roode that screams ‘champion’, and WWE would do well to take advantage of that. A heel turn must be in The Glorious One’s future, and that may come soon after the stars and stripes title is around his glorious waist. This also gives SmackDown six months to groom a babyface challenger in the middle of the card, or bring one up from NXT.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
