Seeing how the mid card titles haven't been used well at all, here is an idea for the US title. The title on Sheamus right now serves no purpose other than he isn't in the main event anymore so here is a title just to look good. There are no real feuds for it, no story lines around it, etc. Why not have Rusev vs. Sheamus? Have a few altercations on Raw and Smackdown building to a PPV match. Rusev wins the title, and have him hold it for a good length of time. Lana can rub it in the face of the crowd that Rusev has "your stupid Americans' title". It fits his anti American gimmick. Rusev can attack Sgt. Slaughter and Hacksaw Jim Duggan getting more heat. Have several American opponents fail till the payoff of someone finally defeating him. Could build the title back up or at the very least just have it involved in a feel good story. Could also be with the IC title but I think the US title fits the character and story better. What do you guys think?

I've been saying that (not on here, to my buddies) for months now. But you know, WWE.

Miz should beat sheamus for the U.S. belt.
Sheamus has had probably the worst US title reign of all time.

Until they change that ugly ass design, just like the WWE Title and the Tag titles, I cant take any of them serious. The only title WWE has right now that doesnt look like a 9 year old designed it is the IC Title

At least Sheamus had some damn good matches with Cesaro and a good but overlooked Last Man Standing match against Del Rio on Main Event.

They should have done Rusev winning the title months ago. The July the 4th episode of Smackdown would have been the perfect show for Rusev to win the US Title. Rusev answers the challenge Sheamus did, Rusev beats Sheamus, instant heat winning the US Title on America's birthday.

Well, Shaemus isn't American so he can't have matches with Rusev.

I have already thought of that. That's not a bad idea.

Rusev winning it should have happened a while ago.
While I am no fan of him it makes total sense and I don't understand why WWE didn't do it already and instead let Sheamus keep the belt to do relatively nothing with it.

I really don't think Rusev is anything special, especially not for the push he has been getting. But sincr they seem to be intent on making him into something...maybe if he picks up the US title he can slap a Russian sticker on it, kind of like Lance Storm did in WCW. Then you get someone on a chase to restore the belt, and I still think it could be a Swagger.

With the roster as thin as ever, it makes no sense to have two secondary champs. Unify the US and IC and build a real division out of it. I don't dislike Sheamus, but he's been stuck in neutral for months.
You have so much talent that its such a damn waste. I would love it if Slater got a small(but fairly significant) run with it. Hell guys like s-h-i-t-t-y Miz could even warrant a meaningful run. I have never cared who held those belts as long as the story behind it and the run is meaningful.
I remember when the IC belt was THE belt to have. Its funny how so many guys aspired to be IC champ and not world champ. Nowadays, not so much.
And don't get me started on the Diva's title... the term Diva implys something negative. But that's another rant for another time.

Rusev should do what Lance Storm did in WCW(Lance Storm changed it too the Canadian title) and change it to the Russian title.

Sheamus is above the US title.
What I mean by that is, the US title should be used for guys like Heath Slater, R-Truth, Kofi Kingston, Curtis Axel, Sin Cara, Fandango a PURPOSE for the mid card. You give those guys a run with the belt and it keeps the lower mid card fresh and interesting. None of them need to be elevated from it but its a million times better than those guys just JOBBING when they need to "protect" a main eventer.
The IC title should be used for guys like Sheamus, Ziggler, Cesaro, Miz, Mark Henry, Swagger, Ryback...guys who could be and have been in the main event (wwe title) scene but aren't now and still need something to do. Then you can easily rotate those guys in and out of the WWE title scene while keeping the entertainment high.
But yes since they are so intent on shoving that bag of doorknobs, Rusev, into the spotlight as the "monster heel" (ah...my FAVORITE term..........yuckeroo) the perfect scenario is that he continues to beat everyone (vomit) until Sheamus steps in and offers to defend America (again because apparently thats all anyone in stupid creative can think of) and Rusev takes the US title off him.
The only problem with that is Rusev is clearly being built up to be fed to Cena (like all the great "monster heels") and what is he gonna do? drop the US title TO Cena? so he'd have to lose it beforehand, which would kill his momentum as being undefeated/unstoppable

They're in a spot with Sheamus because he's already achieved everything. This title does nothing for him because he's above it. He's been in the main event for the last 5 years, whether he deserved it or not, so there's no reason for him to step down a level. And not even just stepping down a level, but stepping down and not doing anything while he's there. It's like they put him there because they've ran out of things to do with him.

I think the new Mid Card title is the Worlds title. The US title is now what the Television title was in WCW.

At least Sheamus had some damn good matches with Cesaro and a good but overlooked Last Man Standing match against Del Rio on Main Event. Santino was chasing the WHC while holding the US title, and was runner up in the Elimination Chamber.

He only participated in the Elimination Chamber due to injury and only was the runner up because there was literally nobody else of worth.

US for lower mid carders.
IC for higher midcarders.
Sheamus, I am digging him atm, I dont' think he should be champion.
