3. Rusev declares that he's so confident he can beat this "Foolish, Weak American," that he puts the US Title on the line.
4. They have an actual match, Axel doesn't get wrecked, but he's clearly not getting the better of Rusev.
5. Out comes Cena, who gets in Rusev's face.
6. Surprise roll-up from Axel... 1-2-3!!!! New US Champion
7. Rusev, naturally is furious. He's like if you want the match, you can have your match. Set up for Wrestlemania. US Title isn't tied up in it. And you can have Axel act like his flukey win over Rusev was on par with Hogan dropping the leg on the Iron Shiek.
LOL! What was I thinking. You can't put more than one person over in a segment. How stupid can I get?

I think I prefer the way they've handled it.
Can easily do without another distraction finish, Rusev losing his streak in that fashion would suck; you might as well put somebody over strong if you're going to do it, not by a fluke.
The stock of the US Title would plummet on Axel, he's in a comedy gimmick right now (albeit a good one) that's getting him over with a certain section of the crowd, but putting the title on him (especially in that fashion) won't elevate him or the title (see his IC Title run).
