# Dragon Lee vs. Santos Escobar and Bobby Lashley vs. Karrion Kross in a pair of United States Title Tournament Matches

* The intense rivalry between Dragon Lee and Santos Escobar reaches a new level when the two Superstars clash in the United States Title Tournament. Lee and Escobar wowed the WWE Universe at Survivor Series: WarGames, with the insidious Escobar coming out on top. Both Superstars will look to progress in the tournament, with a chance to face U.S. Champion Logan Paul on the line. Escobar’s winning streak has continued since Chicago, with a victory over Joaquin Wilde on SmackDown this past week.
An another dynamic United States Title Tournament Match , “The All Mighty” Bobby Lashley will take on Karrion Kross in a first-time-ever showdown. An opportunity against U.S. Champion Logan Paul awaits the winner of the eight-man tournament. Lashley has been United States Champion thrice before, whilst Kross will look to contend for his first stars-and-stripes title.
Can Escobar continue his winning ways and gain another W over Lee? Will the dynamic masked Superstar even the score? Is Lashley or Kross destined to move one step closer to glory?
