2. AJ Styles Retains The United States Championship

AJ Styles has been a phenomenal United States Champion, and Braun Strowman is always ready for ‘real competition.’ Strowman has been asking for ‘real competition’ for a long time now, and he seems to have found his match.

Strowman is in dire need of a championship run since he has not won a singles championship in the WWE yet. However, if Styles were to lose the championship to Strowman, he should lose it on a noteworthy PPV, and not on a casual episode of Monday Night Raw.

Considering that the monstrous Strowman should also not lose cleanly to Styles, this match could very well have an inconclusive finish.

With the Raw Tag Team Champions Gallows and Anderson lurking on the outside, they could feasibly cause this championship match to end in disqualification once they notice that Styles is in jeopardy of losing his championship to the Monster Among Men.

As a result, Styles should be a safe pick to retain the United States Championship via DQ.

However, the night won’t be over yet because The OC’s disqualification attack on Braun Strowman could elicit a six-man tag match.

When Universal Champion Seth Rollins battled United States Champion AJ Styles in a Champion vs. Champion match last week, the match ended in a disqualification due to Gallows and Anderson’s interference.

Since babyface Seth Rollins was getting beaten down by the three aforementioned heels, the babyfaces Ricochet and Braun Strowman ran in to save Rollins and even out the playing field.

If Strowman experiences the same fate that Rollins did tonight on Raw, expect Rollins and Ricochet to return the favor and help Strowman even out the playing field once again.

With Ricochet and Rollins booked for nothing on Raw this week yet, this cluster will most likely elicit a six-man tag match for a potential main event of Raw, in which Strowman, Rollins, and Ricochet should win to be considered for future title shots against The
