5 Championships in WWE that need to change hands

#2 United States Championship

Do I think that Nakamura doesn't deserve to be the US Champion? I would be crazy to say so, especially considering what a wealth of talent the man really is. The problem comes from the fact that WWE hasn't really done anything with him since he became Champion.

Shinsuke Nakamura could not beat AJ Styles for the prized WWE Championship. He was thrust into the mid-card where he won the United States Championship, next. The NakaMerica gimmick was also thrust upon the man.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Neither has really panned out as the United States Championship continues to not be booked in feuds for weeks on end. WWE had the chance to build Nakamura as a credible Champion who puts away challengers with his unique style and mannerisms but instead have somehow squandered the opportunity to create a believable, top-tier WWE megastar again.
