Could a brand new US champion be crowned this week?
#2 Rusev captures the United States Championship

All of Bulgaria will celebrate if this does happen
Rusev and Nakamura have been on the warpath recently. Rusev is a former United States Champion and he wants the title that Nakamura currently holds. But the two men are not scheduled to face off at TLC this weekend.

Could the big match happen on this week's show? I can absolutely imagine Rusev picking up the win and the change in title leading to a swell in viewer interest, this week. Nakamura's title reign has not been prolific to say the least and having a babyface Rusev carry the Championship will only make the audience love him even more.
Rusev could be a great US Champion, primarily because he also has the support of the fans who chant Rusev Day, whenever he makes an appearance. Nakamura could benefit from an exciting program as well, against the Bulgarian Brute.
