#2 Rusev (C) w/ Lana vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship

Will the King of Strong Style bring the big fight?

Despite the fact that Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura are two of the most talented competitors on the planet, WWE hasn't really given any meaning to this feud.

While the King of Strong Style works good as a heel, the feud genuinely fails to bring any excitement to Rusev and his recently won United States Championship.

With the match likely to kick things off, I would definitely believe that this match would fare well if the Bulgarian Brute walks out of Chase Field with the gold whilst keeping The Artist strong for the men's Royal Rumble match.

It's a damn shame that the creative team hasn't really figured out how to use Nakamura on the main roster, but a strong showing in the bout and diving him straight back to the main event scene after this could be fulfilling.

Expect this to entertain in bits, with the former NXT Champion bringing his Charisma in front to tackle the United States Champion and eventually falling down.

Prediction: Rusev retains the United States Championship
