WWE Raw Is XXX: 10 Things That Must Happen

9. Austin Theory Survives

Should WWE move on from Austin Theory as United States Champ just because Bobby Lashley is heating back up and Seth Rollins is also still in the mix? This writer says no. Theory had a bit of a rough time of it last summer post-Vinnie Mac retirement, but he managed to survive shoddy MITB booking to have the last laugh.

He must survive again vs. Lashley.

There's just no need to take that US strap off Austin's shoulder right now. Bobby probably has an emerging story happening that'll tide him over heading into 'Mania without a title, and Rollins will likely spin off into another chapter of warfare vs. the returning Cody Rhodes.

If Theory hopes to be on either card come April, then he'll likely need a belt, and it'll totally squash any of the momentum he's been building up as a character if he doesn't retain this one at XXX. Lashley can always do something else fun post-match...
