Imo this not even really midcard per se, since Rusev had to beat multiple world champions before getting his first US Title, and had a lengthy feud with John Cena. It's just another one of those awkward "too good for Midcard but it's not your turn to be world champ" purgatory feuds that have been clogging up the card since the end of the first brand split. It's not like Reigns is feuding with Heath Slater or Curtis Axel. Rusev's last feuds were with Kalisto and Zack Ryder, that guy's a midcard monster, regardless of what he did in 2014. There's no way they'll put this as a "main event" on the same level as Balor vs Rollins, Orton vs Lesnar, and I'm guessing Cena vs Styles.

I'm just glad Reigns is finally getting appreciated for something

That US Title would look good around The Big Dog

I was fascinated that WWE still seems to equate Bulgaria with Russia, despite the two countries not really being anywhere near the same thing. As in it isn't even like the Ukraine and Russia or something. That said, am I the only one who thinks the current title scenes are flat out bizarre? Reigns/Rusev does actually feel a bit too important at this stage to be a mere U.S. title match, while Rollins/Balor doesn't especially seem like a main event world title feud (or Universal title). I hate to echo Russo's comments from last week, but who in their right mind would think Finn Balor could beat someone like Rusev? Didn't Balor pin Rusev to qualify for his shot at the title?

That US Title would look good around The Big Dog Still, if he wins, and the fans somehow decide to cheer instead of boo him out of the building, he needs to do the whole Mark Henry "NOW you want to cheer me? Shut up, this ain't your moment! This is about me!" thing.
