5 potential WWE United States Champions

#1 Andrade 'Cien' Almas

NXT Champion Andrade 'Cien' Almas and Zelina Vega

Since debuting on NXT Andrade 'Cien' Almas has considerably improved since recruiting Zelina Vega as his manager. Similar to Paul Heyman, Vega advocates brilliantly for the NXT Champion, removing Andrade's biggest weakness (microphone promo work).

Furthermore, her advocating skills afforded Almas the ability to develop a strong heel character in NXT.

With a debut in the Royal Rumble and an excellent title defense against Johnny Gargano, what else could Almas do in the developmental brand. Therefore, a loss to 'Johnny Wrestling' for the NXT Championship allows Almas to progress onto SmackDown Live for an epic showdown with Bobby Roode for the United States Championship.

Personally, this feud would bring pure energy and drama to its highest peak. WWE needs this to happen. Furthermore, with the addition of Vega, just think of the domination that could occur; the duo are ready for the main roster.
