Why Sheamus & Rusev Pulled Double Duty on Raw This Week

For fans who were perplexed by WWE's booking of Sheamus and Rusev on Raw this week and wondered why they both had separate matches before finally have a U.S. Title match after Raw went off the air, it's because they were originally supposed to have the U.S. Title match at the Survivor Series pay-per-view and the finalized Raw script had them both in their respective bouts. But a last-minute decision was made, for whatever reason, to have them do a dark match after Raw went off the air and have Rusev beat Sheamus for the Title.
