Whether WWE likes it or not, they`ve been setting up this match for months. At the end of January this year, R-Truth won the United States Championship on Smackdown, in one of the weirdest finishes I`ve seen in years, which was meant to look like a ref botch (Mike Chioda don`t botch). I guess it was a way to transition the title without making Shinsuke Nakamura weak? It was a dumb finish, regardl ...
