#2: SPOILER ALERT: New champion crowned during tapings for next week's SmackDown Live episode
In case you didn't know, WWE filmed next week’s episodes of Raw and SmackDown early this week to accommodate for Christmas and Christmas Eve.
Just to remind our readers once again, this is your final warning for a huge spoiler regarding next week's SmackDown Live episode.
Rusev became a three-time United States Champion by defeating Shinsuke Nakamura during a taping for a Christmas themed edition of SmackDown Live.
As noted, we witnessed segments between Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura during last night's episode, where the latter criticized the Bulgarian Brute by showing Total Divas clips of an unfiltered Rusev.
One of the main reasons behind this title change could be the fact that Nakamura has had a lackluster run as United States Champion, and what else could be better than crowning a new babyface champion just before the year ends?
