If the WWE views Rusev as a big upcoming star (I am not sure on that) then it makes sense to build up his first title win more than mid carding on a throw away show.

AJ wins, but in a star-making performance for Rusev.

I don’t expect him to win, but there’s also no reason why he shouldn’t.
Once they gave the belt to bottom of the barrel Mahal there’s no argument for quality of a top champion.

I'd like to believe.
But I find it more likely Rusev loses, and turns officially face by turning on Aiden who costs him the match in some way.

well I suppose if aj misses his flight and can't get to the arena in time forcing rusev to win by forfeit maybe. though I dunno if the title changes hands under that circumstance.
knowing wwe though they'll send jeff hardy out after losing the us title to nakamura to beat rusev and become the new #1 contender for styles. rusev complains about it next week on smackdown and commentary makes him out to be a massive heel for wanting the title shot that he earned and was denied beacause "AJ was too afraid to fight me on..." <holds mic for English> "RUUUUUUSEV DAAAAAAAAAAY!"

If they had any guts, they'd have Rusev win and then go into Summerslam with Rusev/Joe.

They could always have Rusev win and then Styles gets a rematch with Joe involved.
Rusev/Styles/Joe 3 way.

And sadly you know the crowd is going to go insane if he wins but the management thinks he's a heel despite the audience chanting him as a face
just imagine if he does win and Lana comes out and he picks her up Aiden sings rusev Day song The Crowd will go home happy , which no one's going home happy in a long long time, so a change will be nice, but the crowd doesn't matter to vince

Plus, the minute he's officially face half the people would just claim he got ruined anyway. They know the Rusev day stuff is over and acknowledge that, and Rusev himself can start feuds with just about anyone, so why does it matter?

In the last couple of days I've done a complete 180 about my feelings for this match's result.
I love AJ, but today. Is. RUSEV DAAAAY!
