1. Baron Corbin

This should be the most obvious choice for who is going to challenge AJ Styles for his US Championship next.

After Baron Corbin agreed to be the guest referee for the match between Styles and Owens, Owens guaranteed Corbin a shot at the title if he won, and Styles told Corbin to answer his open challenge if he won.

So, Corbin has obviously set his sight on the United States Championship, and since Styles won, I will not be surprised to see Corbin as the first person to answer the United States Championship Open Challenge. This could then, of course, lead to a program between the two.

Corbin definitely needs this feud after his last couple of rough weeks. After winning the Money in the Bank contract, Corbin was on top of the world until everything came crumbling down.

Corbin ended up failing to win the WWE Championship when he cashed in on Mahal, and then he ended up losing to Cena at SummerSlam. Corbin needs to rebound, and he needs to do so quickly.

With Corbin already getting himself involved in the United States Championship picture, it would not surprise me if he stays there as Styles’ next challenger for the belt.
