#9 United States Champion: Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe is another example of a champion heading into WrestleMania 35, who was not a part of the match card last year.
With him the case was different. He sustained a foot injury in January 2019, due to which he was not cleared to compete at WrestleMania 34 and was out of action.
