What a strange trip it's been for Rey Mysterio. That's the only way to describe the series of events that unfolded around the United States Championship picture on RAW. It all started with a scheduled title match between Humberto Carrillo and AJ Styles, which never got going thanks to a beatdown at the hands of The O.C.

Things wouldn't end there, however, as Superstar after Superstar would interrupt in order to demand a United States Championship opportunity from AJ Styles. 'The Phenomenal One' tried to play it off that he was injured after his Survivor Series match against Roderick Strong and Shinsuke Nakamura, but no one was buying it.

Then it happened. WWE pulled one of its many audibles of the night and created a Fatal Four Way matchup to determine the new number one contender. The match involved Randy Orton, Richochet, Drew McIntyre, and Rey Mysterio. Mysterio went on to win the match and then face off against United States Champion AJ Styles immediately thereafter.

Mysterio went on to win the United States Title from Styles thanks to an assist from Randy Orton, which has fans wondering what happens next? Fortunately for fans, however, that is one of the many questions the company will be answering over the next couple of weeks and with TLC on the horizon, it should be fun to watch play out.
