Ricochet's run with the United States Title didn't last as long as the WWE Universe had hoped it to. Hopefully, the feud isn't over yet and the incredibly talented high-flyer gets a chance to make things right.
AJ, on the other hand, is on a roll, as the possibilities with a heel Styles and Good Brothers are endless. It would be interesting to see where the trio goes in the coming weeks.
