#4 The United States title keeps changing hands anyway

The US title changes hands more than any other (except the 24/7 title)

When was the last time that we've seen a relatively long reign with the United States Championship? We'll tell you when - it was Shinsuke Nakamura in 2018, who held it for over 100 days.

However, before that and after that, there were only short title reigns. Since December 2018, it's been Nakamura, Rusev, Nakamura again, R-Truth, Samoa Joe, Rey Mysterio, Samoa Joe again and now Ricochet.

You can see the pattern here. Even prior to Nakamura's run, the United States title hadn't had a long reign in quite a while. It's quite obvious that WWE doesn't really take it as seriously as they should with other titles. If anything, one could argue that it's the least valued title on the main roster. That's why we mentioned it as a stepping stone for Ricochet.
