5 reasons why AJ Styles is challenging Rey Mysterio for the United States Championship on RAW

#3 To allow Mysterio’s friends to help him out again

Mysterio had stepped up to fight for a chance for the title after Carrillo was attacked by The O.C.

Rey Mysterio has found some babyface friends to support him in evening out the odds on RAW against The O.C.

Mysterio, who was a lone ranger since his return to the company, was helped by Humberto Carrillo and Ricochet last week in order to turn the tides on The O.C. Even though the babyfaces lost the match in the process, it was good to watch the babyfaces put up a fight against the veterans.

AJ Styles pinned Ricochet during the match to seal the victory and in the process earn a shot at the US Championship, and we can safely say that Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson will try to do everything to ensure their leader becomes the Champion once again.

This could lead to a possible disqualification, or even without one we could watch Carrillo and Ricochet come out to help Mysterio even out the odds and reduce the distractions.

Since RAW is trying to build both Carrillo and Ricochet, it will be good to watch them step up to the heels once again and remain relevant on RAW’s midcard while doing so.
