Best and Worst of WrestleMania 34

#2 Worst: Not capitalizing on Rusev Day

Jinder Mahal's win seemed a little surprising to us!

Rusev was perhaps the most over superstar in the whole card. And when you have a card that is as star-studded as this one, that's quite a feat. Therefore, we were surprised when Jinder Mahal became the United States Champion. It seemed like Rusev's time.

Mahal can always drop the title in due time. However, we fear that it may be too little, too late for Rusev. Which is sad because he's an athlete who got himself over organically.

Let's just hope that it has not killed all of Rusev's momentum for good. It's hard to have a superstar get over in 2018, much less as over as Rusev!
