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

#2 Cesaro

Cesaro has definitely been struggling on the main roster for quite some time now and despite putting on some of the best performances in the squared circle, the former WWE United States Champion has been struggling to win matches on Monday Night RAW.

Within the past few months, Cesaro has lost some vital clashes against the likes of Aleister Black, The Miz, and on the very recent edition of RAW, he suffered a defeat to former US Champion, Ricochet.

A feud between AJ Styles and Cesaro is something fans have been urging to witness for several years now and this definitely seems like the right time for WWE to actually book the two men in a long-term rivalry. With Cesaro suffering several notable defeats over the past few months, the former WWE RAW Tag Team Champion could also use a fresh face turn and then could step up to the plate to challenge The Phenomenal One for the WWE US Championship.
