So, AJ Styles is the current US Champion and he rightfully said that he deserves a shot at the Universal Championship, because that's the way it used to work in the old days. At least, such was the case with the Intercontinental Championship where a mid-card title would lead you to the main prize. But times have changed and the way that titles are booked have also changed.
I wonder if this particular approach of inserting him right into the mix with Strowman and Rollins will devalue the US Championship. Because at present, there's no program at all for the United States title at all. I wonder if the beatdown on Cedric Alexander was their unique way to kickstart such a feud.
