5 Next possible challengers for AJ Styles' United States Championship

Modified Oct 03, 2019 05:45 GMT

AJ Styles recently retained the WWE US Championship over Cedric Alexander on RAW

#3 The Miz

The Miz recently failed to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship for a record ninth time from Shinsuke Nakamura at Clash of Champions, however, that certainly isn't preventing The A-Lister from challenging for the other mid-card title, that is, the WWE US Championship.

Being a former United States Champion, having a babyface Miz step up to The O.C. and their shenanigans and eventually challenge AJ Styles for the US Championship would be a perfect story at this point.

As of now, it might be likely for The Miz to get picked for either Team Flair or Team Hogan for Crown Jewel but a program with AJ Styles over the WWE US Championship is more than welcome after that.

Personally, I would definitely love to see a babyface Miz get a run as champion once again, given how WWE hasn't really been doing anything significant with him for the past few months now.
