Slightly less offensive, this, because nobody really cares about WWE’s treatment of the old NWA United States belt. Well, on SmackDown, Rusev thought more of it than his injured wife by teaming with the man whose chicanery led to her sprained ankle, but we digress.
If any title in WWE warrants the derisory “prop” descriptor, it is the US Championship. Vince McMahon’s eyes probably glaze over at the mere mention of it at production meetings. “Give it to the guy who’s complaining the most,” he then declares. Once a vehicle with which to launch John Cena as a player, the Doctor of Thuganomics customised it to make it “spin”.
Even without this motion sickness, we heaved at the sight of its sparkly trinket aesthetic.
