Bray Wyatt's Next Opponent(s)

[Red Rain]

I agree with the family costing Sheamus the belt. I get the historical cases and could understand why it was there, but I just cannot visualize Bray with a belt. Harper and Rowan being compared to the leader of their cult to me makes no sense. The tag team belt isnt restricted to lower mid carders like the US title has been, and the two followers going for the belt to prove their dominance to Bray makes a ton more sense, since they have something to prove and Bray certainly does not.

I do like the idea of Rusev winning the US belt via Family, leading to Sheamus vs Bray, although I would argue Harper could kick the shit out of Sheamus himself.

A title is only as prestigious as how its booked. The IC title used to booked as a 'worker's title' and now it is not.
The WWE Championship, from 2002-2004, was booked as a workrate title. This, however, is no longer the case.

The first thing WWE did wrong with the U.S title was created it to look like a da** toy.
What they've done correctly is allowed for very long title reigns.
If Wyatt were to hold on to the title for an extended period of time, it would be a successful reign particularly if they did the right thing and changed its design.

Truth be told, Rusev is the best alternative. The U.S title should be defended by somebody who can actually carry matches.
Benoit, MVP and Booker T (to a lesser extent) were all very successful because they could work excellent matches on Smackdown.

I'd not be against a couple of hard-hitting Sheamus/Bray matches, but a feud between the two doesn't really entice me much. I'd rather Cesaro or Rusev win the US Title from Sheamus. Never thought I'd say this, but right now Bray is an afterthought for me.

I feel that Bray winning the US championship could be a good thing. I mean the guy has to start somewhere if he's ever going to be WWE World Champion someday. Let him have some good matches with Shamus and win a belt. It'll help his credibility. I can imagine him cutting promos after beating Sheamus. "The Eater of Worlds is truly your people's champion....as I hold the United States Championship proudly on my shoulder....all of you people....will follow the buzzards.....I've got the whole nation...in my hands....."

Bray costing Sheamus the US title (against ideally Rusev, for me) would be quite good.
