Austin Theory (c) vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Bronson Reed – United States Championship

This match is another that the WWE Draft can give us a big helping hand in predicting.

One man we can rule out winning is Bronson Reed.

That’s because Intercontinental Champion Gunther was drafted to Raw, meaning the US Title will land on SmackDown – Reed is on Raw so it won’t be him that wins, but Lashley and Theory were both moved to SmackDown, so it could be either of those.

Which one? It’s a toss-up really. WWE may look to put the title on Bobby Lashley to have a more dominant champion on SmackDown with Roman Reigns being absent most of the time.

Theory did just beat John Cena at WrestleMania, so let’s go with the idea that they won’t have him lose the title so soon after that – but it could go either way.

Prediction: Austin Theory

Betting favorite: Austin Theory (Theory 1/2 vs Reed 11/4 vs Lashley 3/1)
