WWE TLC 2019: 3 Possible Opponents for U.S. Champion Rey Mysterio
By Mark Justice
Rey Mysterio, one of the most charismatic United States Champions in WWE history, is not yet booked for a match at WWE TLC 2019. The following will predict three possible opponents for the United States Champion on a PPV that is surely not well known for tender loving care.
Rey Mysterio has had quite a journey since getting drafted to the flagship show of WWE Monday Night Raw. When he continued his WrestleMania feud with Samoa Joe, he won the United States Championship at Money in the Bank.
Sadly, he got injured after winning the championship and was compelled to relinquish the championship to Joe on Raw in June.
Ever since then, many fans were wondering if Mysterio would think of retiring due to his many injuries and if he would ever get back into the United States Championship picture. It is quite prophetic that his son, Dominick, dissuaded him from retiring and that Mysterio dethroned AJ Styles for the United States Championship five months later on Raw.
Although many naysayers would view Mysterio’s recent championship victory as a consolation prize for losing his WWE Championship match to Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series 2019, this victory could also be seen as a way of getting back the championship he never lost.
Of course, it would have meant more if Mysterio defeated Lesnar as payback for the mauling Lesnar perpetrated against his son, Dominick.
However, it is clear that Rey Mysterio has drawn his attention away from the WWE Championship picture, and the following will identify and pontificate three potential opponents for his United States Championship at WWE TLC 2019.
