– WWE has posted a preview write-up of next week’s US Championship match between Bobby Roode and Rusev for Smackdown. The write-up is below:

After winning a Fatal 4-Way Match, Rusev has earned the right to challenge United States Champion Bobby Roode next Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE.

The Bulgarian Brute bested Kofi Kingston, Zack Ryder and Jinder Mahal in an action-packed Fatal 4-Way Match this past Tuesday to earn the opportunity to face The Glorious One, then immediately rolled out of the ring to stare down Roode, who was at the announce table.

In a video later that night, Rusev declared that their championship showdown would be Roode’s swan song with the star-spangled title. The champion responded by declaring that even though their showdown may fall on Rusev Day, the outcome of the battle will be nothing short of … GLORIOUS!

Who will walk out of SmackDown LIVE with the United States Championship? Find out next Tuesday at 8/7 C on USA Network!
