After winning the WWE United States Championship from AJ Styles a few weeks ago, Rey Mysterio is set to defend his US title against the Phenomenal One in the upcoming episode of WWE RAW. Fans believe that the match between the two may end without any result because WWE would want both the superstars to face each other again at the upcoming TLC PPV. However, it looks like AJ Styles is ready to take his US title back from the Masked Luchador in the upcoming episode of WWE RAW.
