#1 A new beginning for The O.C.
The O.C. gained a considerable amount of momentum during mid-2019 after Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson became the RAW Tag Team Champions in July, soon after AJ Styles won the United States Championship. This enabled them to become the premier faction of the Red brand.
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
Gallows and Anderson soon lost their tag titles, and the US Championship held by Styles was keeping the faction on top. The O.C. even showed some dominance by acting as the defenders of RAW during the invasion angles during the Survivor Series buildup.
Last week, after Styles lost his United States Championship to Rey Mysterio, the faction lost a major part of their credibility, and this prompted the creatives to start booking them better and stronger.
It seems like they are off to a good start, as The O.C. defeated the team of Rey Mysterio, Humberto Carrillo, and Ricochet this week. Styles was later attacked by Randy Orton which will help Styles get into a top rivalry right away and the two men can have a great feud which could lead to one become the #1 contender for the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble.
