I like Theory in NXT, he was great, but the US title has lost all relevance since he's held it. Theory is regularly the lowest viewed wrestler on YouTube and TV.
I can't help but think how much more valuable that title would be if LA Knight was feuding over the Miz for it right now.

Santos and Knight were my top two choices to beat him (Knight my first). Since Knight's out of the picture for now, Santos should do it on Friday.

Like I said in the Theory thread, it’s at the point now where it’s not that the hot talent needs to hold the belt, the belt needs a hot talent to hold it.

Like I said in the Theory thread, it’s at the point now where it’s not that the hot talent needs to hold the belt, the belt needs a hot talent to hold it. Which is why they need to get the belt off the walking ice cream bar that is Austin Theory. I could dig Santos beating him for the belt.

Austin Theory might be over enough to be the champion of Gary, Indiana at this point. Dude is Sub-Zero.(Finish him)

I get you're going for "opposite of hot" with ice cream bar there, but ice cream bars kick ass! Theory's more like a cup of room temperature water!

Theory is the leftover Arby's beef and cheddar covered with horsey sauce that you forgot on the counter last night at 7pm but you decided to still eat it for breakfast the next day when you rolled out of bed hungover at noon.

Miz. To transition to Knight That gets Miz three quarters of the way to a Triple Grand Slam, so I approve this message.

Difference between the IC and US Title is nuts. That could easily be solved my having Gunther squash Theory and hold both titles. My preferance would be LA Knight holding the strap, but Gunther chopping the shit out of the A-Town Clown and becoming a double champ isn't a bad choice either.

Theory has gotten anything he could have ever gotten out of being US champion by now, which is, less than WWE would have wanted for him. Time to pass the baton, and either try to put Theory in a tag team or something or send him to NXT to challenge for their top title or something, because he dearly needs a change.

It's been a notable factor in Raw's improvement since the Draft.

Time for that unnecessarily lengthy Akira Tozawa title run.

It's insane how important the IC Title has been made and how nothing the US Title currently is, that's the difference in talent and it's a grand canyon sized gap
Idk why they won't just give it to Knight right now, because we keep making threads about how much US Champ Theory sucks, they clearly themselves have given up on the guy, but they just keep the belt attached to him and it's getting worse by the week.

Look at how the two titles were treated at Summerslam.
I-C title - Heavily featured match, with a former WWE champion as challenger. US title - no match. Champion in a battle royal, isn't one of the entrants to get their own entrance, eliminated halfway through.
Hopefully Escobar beats him on Friday.

Yeah, it looks like LA Knight is being quietly shifted to RAW, so I could see Santos beating him on Friday before starting a program with Rey over the belt.
