5 Things WWE must do in December 2019: SmackDown betrayal, former World Champion returns as a babyface

#3 Move Andrade into the United States Championship picture

Since the 2019 draft took place in early October, Andrade has been among the most impressive performers on RAW. Not only is he regarded as one of WWE’s most talented Superstars, but he has won six of his last seven matches on the red brand, with his only defeat coming via disqualification against Seth Rollins.

During that time, “El Idolo” has defeated Mustafa Ali, Sin Cara (x2), Carolina & Sin Cara, Cedric Alexander and Akira Tozawa on Monday nights. As you can see, with the exception of Carolina, all of those opponents are former members of the cruiserweight division, which suggests Andrade needs tougher challenges if he is to reach the next level.

Rey Mysterio defeated AJ Styles in an impromptu match for the United States Championship on the November 25 episode of RAW, and he would certainly be a suitable rival for the former NXT Champion over the next month.

WWE has placed Mysterio and Andrade in multiple matches against each other in the past, but it often felt like they were going one-on-one for the simple reason that they have good matches.

With a title now up for grabs, the next chapter in the Mysterio vs. Andrade storyline would at least have something riding on it.
