8 Worthy Challengers for the US Title

#2 Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio shocked the World when he made a surprise appearance at this year’s Royal Rumble. Mysterio looked to be in great shape. Mysterio was a part of the final six with John Cena, Randy Orton, Finn Balor, Shinsuke Nakamura and Roman Reigns. If rumors are to be believed, Rey Mysterio is set to make his WWE return this year.

Rey Mysterio would be a valuable addition to any of the main roster shows (Smackdown Live, Raw or 205 Live). However, an epic return by interrupting and confronting the US Champion Shinsuke Nakamura would put him directly into the US title picture. As you all may know, Rey Mysterio just needs the US Championship to become a Grand Slam Champion. Also if you have been following NJPW this year, you must know that Rey can work well with NJPW Superstars. Nakamura and Mysterio’s rivalry would be a perfect return feud for Rey and would also help Nakamura.

Ali's love for pro wrestling dates back to when Randy Orton won a Battle Royal to become the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2004. His current favorite wrestler is Cody Rhodes because he's the ultimate throwback babyface. He believes Rhodes has the Surfer Sting's passion, Bret Hart's prop-gifting schtick, a catchy theme like Hogan's, and a kid-friendly demeanor akin to John Cena's.

When he is not doing research for his articles on Google or catching up with the latest in pro wrestling, Ali can be found honing his Data Science and AI skills as he strives to get back into tech in the near future.
