WWE Royal Rumble 2020: 5 Booking mistakes that were made 

#4. Andrade should have dropped the United States Championship

Andrade hangs onto the U.S. Championship

Andrade was relegated to the kick-off show as part of The Royal Rumble after a fantastic Ladder match for the U.S. Championship on Raw a few days ago. Humberto Carrillo was his challenger on the night. Many fans thought Carrillo had a decent shot to win the Title since he's rumored to be someone that Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman want to back.

It was a match that deserved to be on the main show, but instead, Andrade retained the Championship in what turned out to be a wasted match from WWE. The bout was simply there to take up the time on the 2 hour kick-off show.

Zelina Vega wasn't as involved as usual since Andrade seemingly didn't need her and it appears that the tease of the stars splitting has completely been forgotten. The United States Champion was easily able to continue his reign with a cheap victory over Carrillo.

The fact that he needed to steal a victory means there will be a rematch but at the same time, it means that Carrillo has to wait for his first WWE title.
