Might as well at this point. Kalisto's been a long-term lame duck champion, with less and less visibility ever since his match series with Alberto Del Rio. Rusev, on the other hand, seems to be out of the needless punishment zone, and is allowed to once more look like the obdurate beast that he portrayed throughout 2014. It's long past time to make the title switch, and letting Rusev taunt America once more with a patriotic belt isn't the worst direction to go in.

The only question is who would Rusev feud with as champion. Either Cesaro or Sami Zayn, if one or neither wins the four-way match? A returning Bray Wyatt? Whatever the case is, it's clear that Kalisto's no longer a preferred flavor for the time being.
