Rusev has been circling the United States Championship for quite some time now and he took one step closer to that last night when he managed to score a pinfall victory over Shinsuke Nakamura.
Jeff Hardy and Samoa Joe were also involved in the match but not a lot was done to further their feud and the Charismatic Enigma never actually addressed Joe's comments from recent weeks.
Regardless, none of these men are booked for TLC so expect these rivalries to continue over the coming weeks. Do you think Rusev could be the next United States Champion or does he deserve a shot at the WWE title? As always, share your thoughts on that in the comments section down below.
