5 Immediate challengers for Alberto Del Rio's US title
It was much to the shock and delight of many that Alberto Del Rio returned to face John Cena for the US Title.What was quitesensational and consequentially considered a political move was to have Del Rio partner up with Zeb Colter and form a whole gimmick around the idea of Mex- America. That concept has not, if youve been following them, worked at all in getting Del Rio over.Heres the thing with Del Rio, despite being a gifted athlete, he just hasnt ever been over as a heel or a face. He needs a good challenger. Here are5 immediate challengers for Del Rio's US title-
#1 Kevin Owens
“Do you know who missed you when you were gone? Nobody”
Owens got that so precisely right that it deserves a continuation. Since unification seems all the trend these days, it won’t be quite a distant thought to unite the US and Intercontinental title. If that’s unconvincing, then it won’t be quite a bad idea to have one person hold both the US and IC titles. That can be interesting.
Owens certainly has the power to be over. He’s great on the mic, great in the ring and just a great overall performer. If he doesn’t win this Sunday, apart from a potential IC title feud with Ambrose, facing Del Rio should be next on the list.
