#1 No plans for the US Title at Fastlane
WWE are clearly not having a great storyline with the US Title and it looks like that is set to continue. They kept the title on Nakamura for some time and he was hardly seen defending it, not just on SmackDown, but also during pay-per-views.
Nakamura's reign was the best example of the lack of PPV-worthy storyline. He won the title at Extreme Rules but since then, the title was defended in the kick-off show at SummerSlam, no match at Hell in a Cell, Super Show-Down or Crown Jewel, non-Title match vs Seth Rollins at Survivor Series, and again, no US title match at TLC.
At Fastlane, once again, WWE might opt to keep the title off the match card and have a #1 contenders match for it between Andrade and Rey Mysterio.
