I personally feel the new US Champion should be Otunga at this current stage then have him feud Kofi Kingston, R Truth, ect. The person that would really benefit from the title is Heath Slater, could you imagine him as the US Champion? That'd be really entertaining and it would really develop him, put him on some sort of win streak then put the title on him, there you have it, your 1 step closer to making a star.
