#3 Worst: The US Title picture

Nakamura's not had any real challengers since his victory
The US Title is a championship with a long history and tradition. Shinsuke Nakamura is a fabulous superstar and is certainly worthy of holding such a coveted prize. I'm just shocked that he has not been booked in a real program since he won the prized title. Even his match with R-Truth this week was a throwaway match.

Superstars like Rusev could certainly benefit from an extended feud against Shinsuke Nakamura. The same could be said of someone like Luke Harper, who's been sitting on the sidelines. I hope they catapult him into a feud with Rey Mysterio soon.
Even if WWE were to book R-Truth in a proper program against Nakamura, I would consider it an improvement to just a random match where we already know the outcome. Why waste a star of Nakamura's caliber?
