Why? Not because I like Cesaro and think Face Miz is awful but I fear the US Title will once again become a prop.
Cesaro's title reign has made the belt feel important again. He constantly talks about the belt or the US, has the flag and new trunks. I actually remember that Cesaro is a champ. There have been several times I couldn't even remember that Wade was IC champ, the belt is just a prop for him.
The US title actually feels like it means something with Cesaro now and I can only imagine the Miz winning will just mean it fades back to obscurity like the many Kofi midcard reigns when both are past that.

I do agree. Antonio is perfect for the belt and has made it feel very important with his performances and big wins.
However when he does lose it one day, I hope doing so allows him to move up and maybe challenge for a top tier title and not be stuck in midcard hell like kofi for years. The company seems high up on him and I hope he gets a shot.

I dom't think Miz is winning. He's above the U.S. Title, but Creative has nothing for him and Cesaro needs a name to go over before he moves up.

Cesaro needs a dude at ringside blowing one of those huge Ricola horns and another guy that does nothing other than yodel whenever he's on the offense. Insta-heat!

Doesn't really bother me. For a long time the mid card titles have only been as important as the people holding them make them seem. That's kind of their job. A World Title makes people look special. A mid card title is a chance for a wrestler to show he deserves to look special.

I agree. He has to drop the title some day of course, but now is not the time. I do think Miz is winning at the Royal Rumble, though.

I like how they've tweaked Cesaro's evil foreigner gimmick so that he now doesn't hate America, just its people, and thinks he's better at being an American than those born in the country. You could get some good mileage out of that idea, so I hope they keep the title on him.

Cesaro will be champ for a good while. When he drops it rest assured it will be done in order for him to enter the scene for a major totle.

I think Cesaro retains, but I just opened the WWE App & saw the match is on the pre-show, so that kinda sucks. Hell, I'm not even sure I'll be able to watch the Rumble, but title matches should ALWAYS be on the main show.

His title win wasn't on the main show.

great reign this far, maybe the best US title reign in the past 10 years
the title match tonight shouldve been on the main show, along with the Rumble and the 3 other title matches (TT, WHW, WWE)

As do I. When other people have won it recently, it's just been a prop really, nothing of importance, but he's made it seem important, and put some focus on it.

Hell, I'm not even sure I'll be able to watch the Rumble, but title matches should ALWAYS be on the main show. That is lame as shit. They've actually built this match decently, they haven't even been in the ring together at all. Definitely PPV worthy. They're down to like 1 hour after the Rumble and Rock/Punk though, I guess something has to get cut.

I find Cesaro really boring. His matches just bore the daylights out of me and I don't see anything special about him at all. Maybe it's his look...he looks like he's a million or maybe it's the EVIL foreigner character or maybe it's something else...but he's as dull as dishwater to me.
Him holding the belt and beating the likes of Santino, Zack Ryder and Brodus Clay does nothing to increase the belt's importance. This guy will never reach the upper echelon of WWE and they might as well give it to someone who already has and will again.
Miz will still be there in a few years. Cesaro will be in TNA by that time. Maybe if Aces & 8's are still around he can join the crew of D-Von and Festus etc.

I still think they should have had Cesaro rename the US title as the European title.
Instant super heel heat and more reaction from crowds than he's getting at the moment.

If he loses it in a pre-show of all places I won't be happy.
But I get the feeling management realise how good he is, they won't waste him.

I forgot he won the title in a pre-show match. Either way, title matches belong on PPV, regardless of which title it is or the title's perceived value.
