3 Reasons why the Cena vs Rusev match at Fast Lane doesn't need the US Title

The stage has been set for a match between John Cena and Rusev at the new Fast Lane PPV this month. It is a match in which Rusev’s undefeated streak and John Cena’s undisputed legacy are at stake. The story unwinds well until this point. This Monday night on RAW, it was announced that Cena will be competing against Rusev at Fast Lane for the US Championship. RAW started with a confrontation between Cena and Rusev and John Cena took out Rusev and he has been projected as extremely irate and fury personified.John Cena conquering the streak of Rusev is always good for the business but bringing the US title into the equation has some negative ramifications. Let us take a look at some consequences.

#1 Lowering the bar

Cena is a 15-time World Champion. In the past 7-8 years, Cena’s name has always been among the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship contender lists. In the last PPV Royal Rumble also, Cena was a part of the WWE WHC match.

Rusev may be undefeated till now, but he certainly is a mid-carder. He held on to the US title for a good number of days. Nonetheless, projecting Cena into the US title scene will certainly lower his bar. The WWE Universe certainly would not like to see Cena holding the US title.
