3 Superstars who could win the United States Championship after Rey Mysterio relinquishes it
At the Money in the Bank pay-per-view last Sunday, Samoa Joe and Rey Mysterio battled to write the next chapter of their rivalry as they went head-to-head for the United States Champion.
The future Hall-of-Famer Mysterio had won almost every major title during his time with WWE except for the United States Championship. All that changed when he controversially pinned Samoa Joe within minutes to win the title and add to his list of accomplishments with the biggest wrestling company in the world.
Things did not go well for the superstar after his win, as Joe stormed back and delivered a brutal beatdown to Mysterio who ended up getting injured in real-life.
This has resulted in him having to relinquish the United States Championship so he can get time off to heal, and he will do so this coming week on Raw.
With that said, we have compiled a list of three superstars who could manage to win the vacated United States Championship instead of Samoa Joe.
#3 Cesaro
The Superstar Shake-Up saw one of WWE’s top tag team The Bar split up, and Cesaro got transferred to Raw from SmackDown.
Since moving to Raw, Cesaro has worked as a solo competitor after a long time and still seems to be at the top of his game. Arguably one of the best wrestlers in WWE, and the best pound-for-pound wrestler around, Cesaro should be getting much more than he is at the moment.
Cesaro has beaten Cedric Alexander and Ricochet since moving to Raw and lost a match to Ricochet in the process.
Now is the time for WWE to focus on Cesaro’s rise again, and give him a mid-card championship run before moving him into the Universal Championship picture.
Cesaro is one of the fan-favorites in WWE, and not a single person doubts his talent, which will be beneficial for WWE to cash in now.
