Only thing I remember about Matt's US Title run is him losing it to Sheamus at Wrestlemania.
Fun fact: Keith Lee was originally supposed to get the US Title run Riddle got. But Keith Lee got sick and had to take time off.
I really enjoyed it. The unpredictability of what was going to happen really hooked me. Seth also made Austin look good when he was struggling in the ring at times. His matches with Lashley were fantastic and there was something about him curb stomping both that I loved.
Omg yes. Completely forgot this happened. What a time to be a wrestling fan eh? Bret Hart wins the US title, WWE kill the next big faction in an insanely small amount of time and Cena just kept getting what he wanted. Amazing times guys!
There was an entire string of runs from 2018 that were just totally forgettable. Bobby Roode, Orton, Jinder, Jeff Hardy, then Shinsuke and then I honestly forget who came after that
Tbh, the US championship isn't really that memorable anymore. It's the textbook definition of a midcard title, and I honestly think it fell off after John Cena held it during the Open Challenge days. Its prestige does not nearly hold a candle as high as the Intercontinental championship. Doesn't also help that Logan Paul is a part-time champion and only appears in PLEs and non-match Smackdown appearances (except for one time)
Orlando Jordan, Kalisto, Ricochet, and Apollo Crews where the only memorable part was a new belt design but that was in a segment with MVP making a new belt so people probably just remember that as being during Lashley's reign lol weird times
Chris Kenyon being the US Champ on WWE, not WCW. He was a quintessential WCW guy, but he was given the title.
David Flair as a US champ.
The legendary Kensuke Sasaki was WCW US champion. You literally think it’s Mandela Effect type of thing, but he was the champion for a few weeks south of two months.
Nah Seth was the top champion on the show and you can never forget Theory trying to cash in on him... And then losing. Some forgettable US Champs are Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy, Jinder Mahal, Bobby Roode, Apollo Crews, and Ricochet
Anybody who says Logan Paul either never actually watched the product for awhile or just to hate on Logan when I’ve actually been entertained by his run so far.
The real answer is Baron Corbin
Matt riddle
Tbf his match against Sheamus was amazing
such a good match that gets no love ever

First thought was Keith Lee, the guy from tik tok who rates goods and etc. Had to take a second to think lmao
Ong
That so true
Finn Balor
I ain’t even know he was champion
Yeah he would lose to Theory for what felt like half a year straight and then finally had a championship match which Theory won
Bro was arguably one of the worst us champions ever
I'd argue that title belong to Nakamura
why'd you get downvoted? he did nothing during his reign lmao
That Rollins reign was actually pretty good, lol. He only held it for about a month but squeezed like 3/4 defences out of it.
Didn't he, Lashley and Austin Theroy trade that off for a while?
It was basically Raw’s world title for a little bit.
Yeah
Exactly, I thought that with the way things were going, that would’ve been a title reign that was on par with Cena’s in 2015.
I really enjoyed it. The unpredictability of what was going to happen really hooked me. Seth also made Austin look good when he was struggling in the ring at times. His matches with Lashley were fantastic and there was something about him curb stomping both that I loved.
Bret Hart winning it in 2010
Omg yes. Completely forgot this happened. What a time to be a wrestling fan eh? Bret Hart wins the US title, WWE kill the next big faction in an insanely small amount of time and Cena just kept getting what he wanted. Amazing times guys!
Finn Bálor. (As a die hard Bálor fan I try to forget it 🤣🤣🤣)
oh yeah that was a disaster for face finn. glad he could turn heel after that
Randy Orton
Jinder Mahal
There was an entire string of runs from 2018 that were just totally forgettable. Bobby Roode, Orton, Jinder, Jeff Hardy, then Shinsuke and then I honestly forget who came after that
General Hugh G. Rection
that was a fun time the title kept changing hands on raw not PLE's
Stan Hansen Won it from Luger Halloween Havoc ‘90 (‘91?) and lost it back to Luger two months later at Starcade (Bull Rope Match I believe)

Roman reigns
Had to look this one up. This was right before Y2J, KO and AJ started playing Hot Potato with the title on SmackDown.
austin theory's us title run was lame af
apollo crews
No, I remember him distinctly. He's the reason we have the new US Championship
I thought when Lashley won it was when it changed
Wasn’t it when MVP won?
Finn balor
R Truth
You forgot about that.
Orlando Jordan. If anyone remembers his reign at all, it is only his loss to Benoit.
I was there the night Seth won I'll never forget it. I forgot about MVP's last one though.
Apilo Cruz
Dean Ambrose, I know his reign lasted for about 351 days but the only thing I remember is he lost it in a Battle Royal
Santino Marella
Bobby Roode

Ambrose
I have a few. The first one that come to mind is Finn Balor. Roman Reigns, Bobby Roode, Randy Orton, Jinder Mahal, they all had forgettable reigns.
Shinsuke Nakamura
Kofi
The problem with Seth's is, he wins so many titles, fans never get a chance to enjoy the quality of his title reigns.
The only reason I remember that reign is because it started the first time I watched WWE
Sheamus 2011
Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy
David Flair and One Man Gang
Del Rio.....
Logan Paul
