5 Superstars that can bring back the lost prestige of the US Title
The United States Championship has been a huge part of wrestling history. Formally being introduced in 1975, this has been one of the most iconic titles.
The United States Title has had a rich history with legends like Ric Flair, Bret Hart, Lex Luger, John Cena, Kurt Angle and many more defending it proudly.
Sadly, the last couple of years haven't been great for the title's legacy. Be it the champions being booked poorly or the championship match being constantly on the pre-show of PPVs, there is a lot that contributed in the declining prestige of this historical title belt.
As much as I agree with the saying that "a title doesn't make a player, a player makes a title", but in this case, it is true that a top-player can do wonders for the United States title which is not getting the proper attention that it should.
In this article, let's take a look at the 5 players who, if given a chance, can bring back the lost prestige of the United States Championship and once again establish it as a top championship on whichever brand it stays.

#5 Andrade
If you've seen the recent string of matches between Andrade and the King of 619, Rey Mysterio, then you won't be surprised to see him being mentioned in this article.
Andrade has all the tools to become a world champion in WWE, but I believe it is a little too early for him to reach that status. The best way to go forward would be to give him a run with the US Title and see how it goes.
His run with the NXT Championship last year is a good enough reason for the WWE management to show faith in him and make him the US champ.
With his amazing athleticism and the ability to have great matches, Andrade might exactly be what the title needs. Add to it the amazing mic work of Zelina Vega, and you have a complete package in your hands.
My prediction is that he surely will win either the US or the Intercontinental Championship this year. Though as stated, the US title needs him more.
