#3 Have him challenge Rey Mysterio for the United States Championship

Name a better challenger that Matt Hardy!

WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio defeated AJ Styles to become the United States Champion last week. This is Mysterio’s second reign with the title and it is important for him to have a compelling run as the new champion.

Amidst several Superstars on RAW who can challenge Mysterio for his title, Matt Hardy is someone who can pose a serious threat to the champion. They are both incredibly talented and can deliver an epic match inside the squared circle with the title on the line.

Even if Mysterio retains the title (which he should), a feud with Matt will help elevate the Mexican Superstar’s second run as the United States Champion. The narration of this entire storyline will be enough to keep the crowd hooked to their rivalry.

Moreover, it will be the perfect opportunity to establish Matt as a Single’s competitor. The company’s history can vouch for the fact that their matchup may result in an extended rivalry that will see both Superstars bring their best in their battles.
