5 Next possible challengers for AJ Styles' United States Championship

#1 Buddy Murphy

Buddy Murphy

This might come in as another unusual entry on this list, however, this definitely remains as a solid possibility with the 2019 Draft set to take place within a few days. Over on SmackDown Live, former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy was recently engaged in a memorable storyline involving the likes Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan, and Erick Rowan that eventually led to Murphy pinning former WWE Champion Bryan, as well.

However, since that victory, WWE hasn't done anything major with The Best Kept Secret and maybe it is finally time for him to change brands and jump ship to Monday Night RAW. Over on RAW, a babyface Murphy is open to a feud against The OC and AJ Styles, someone with whom Murphy could very well have some solid matches to watch out for.

Styles, as we know, is very comfortable in the ring with high-flying stars and Murphy will be a perfectly suitable US Title challenger for The Phenomenal One.
