5 WWE Superstars who can challenge Rey Mysterio for United States Championship

Modified Nov 26, 2019 04:53 GMT

Rey Mysterio does not believe in 'backing down!

#1 Randy Orton

"The Viper" does what he wants

WWE Superstar Randy Orton has been teasing a face turn for the last few weeks. Although he has maintained that he does what he wants, Orton has been pretty helpful to the babyfaces in the recent past.

He played a major role in helping Rey Mysterio tonight. The latter was being attacked by The OC during his championship match against Styles. To Mysterio's relief, 'The Viper' took down Styles with an RKO before Mysterio went on to land the final blow and pin 'The Phenomenal One' to win the United States Championship.

It would be a huge surprise if Orton turns on Mysterio right now and challenges him for the United States Championship that wouldn't have changed hands if not for him.

However, if the Apex Predator were to challenge Rey Mysterio for the Championship, their feud might not start until the end of the year. Otherwise, his booking in the last few weeks will account for nothing.
