Why not defend all 3 it’s a 3 hour show and how bout change it to more wrestling than promos and drama what is the point of a us title I like santino as champ but he never defends and is only on tv for a joke he is a very capable wrestler who deserves a bigger push than Ziggler he stepped up when orton was “concussed” at elimination chamber

    you both seriously think wantonly should be pushed and not ziggler? that’s a little absurd

  Yes it is a 3 hour show but you have to remember its also celebrating the 1000th RAW. Theyll be bringing back tons of legends. Probably airing alot of old RAW clips. If they did all 3 then it wod be too much. I’m sure they’ll do more in the following weeks.

A bigger push than ziggler? Yeah right

I agree 100%! In fact why not defend every title!?

I’m all for defending all three. I had said “D” all of the above myself when they showed it. But who will he defend against? Rhodes seems obvious to an extent but then the outcome would be obvious as well. They should have a mini tournament to decide who faces him for the title or a battle royal.
