5 feuds for Bobby Roode as US Champion
It may not have been the most exciting episode of SmackDown Live in recent memory, but judging by comments on our Facebook page, it seems that everyone's happy with the eventual outcome. Bobby Roode is the brand new WWE United States Champion.
How often have we seen WWE put the gold on a deserving contender, only to have him/her have a terrible run and have it taken from him/her, in subsequent months? The need of the hour is for Bobby Roode to have a strong title run, and stake his claim as "The Glorious One".
This article is an attempt to plot five such feuds. Let's hope that Bobby Roode gets booked with one of these superstars, in a program that can mutually benefit both parties.
Without further ado, we begin this special countdown!
#5 Dolph Ziggler
Let's get the most obvious choice out of the way, up front. We believe that Dolph Ziggler relinquishing the title will lead to a rather predictable plot twist soon. He will return, either next week or at the Royal Rumble to reclaim his coveted US Title. That's bound to be Bobby Roode's next feud.
Yes, of course, we are aware that we have seen the Dolph Ziggler vs Bobby Roode feud already. However, this storyline gives a fresh coat of paint to this long-standing and honestly, rather a lacklustre feud, doesn't it? It feels far more important now!
Roode is all about the big entrances and whatnot, while Ziggler has been outspoken against it, over the past weeks. The two men are incredible workers and the next match may be their best match yet.
It always helps when WWE Superstars have a storyline to draw inspiration and motivation from.
