RAW Preview: AJ Styles in huge title match, Top heel returns (August 19th, 2019)

#1. AJ Styles defends the United States Championship against Braun Strowman

A daunting task ahead

AJ Styles was the first to confront 2-time Universal Champion Seth Rollins following his hot victory at WWE SummerSlam 2019. It led to a champion vs champion match in the main even of RAW last week and as expected, once the pressure started mounting on Styles, The OC interjected.

Styles was DQ'd and even Ricochet's help wasn't enough to put out the trio. However, what was enough was The Monster Among Men Braun Strowman coming in and bulldozing past all of them, respectfully handing Seth Rollins the Universal Championship before shaking hands with him.

This week, AJ Styles has to defend the United States title against Strowman and it's clear that he's going to need all the help he can get during the bout. With that being said, it's certainly going to be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Given Strowman's impact last week, you would think that he is next in line for the Universal title. He doesn't even need to earn the title shot because there are currently no better contenders than him.

Will Seth Rollins make his presence known or will The Monster Among Men be able to capture only his second title in WWE?
