5 Superstars who could win the United States Championship in 2019

#3 Ricochet

Ricochet continues to amaze

Ricochet debuted on the main roster this year in a strange partnership; he was in a tag team with Aleister Black. Although at first, the tag team had the feeling of yet another makeshift tag team, the team strangely began to work and audiences started reacting to them the same way NXT crowds had reacted to them.

However, due to the Superstar Shakeup, the team was split, and since then, Ricochet has been featured on and off on Raw in 50/50 booking matches against Robert Roode and Cesaro. Despite those matches being good, and Ricochet ultimately winning both feuds, 50/50 booking never works out for a Superstar in the long term.

Ricochet featuring in the Money in the Bank ladder match, however, was a good sign that he will continue to be featured on the main roster prominently. As such, the US Championship is the perfect championship for such a stunning high-flyer such as Ricochet. Ricochet would definitely have great matches for the championship in addition to winning his first main roster championship within his debut year.

#4 Eric Young

Eric Young has rarely been seen on WWE Television in the past year

Eric Young's stable, SAnitY, recently disbanded due to the 2019 Superstar Shakeup. While this would've opened an opportunity for Eric Young to step out of the shadow of SAnitY stablemates and stand on his own, Young has not had a single match on Raw since he was drafted.

Eric Young is clearly a talented wrestler, evident from his time in TNA and NXT, and should be given the chance to prove himself to the WWE fans. The US Championship is the perfect championship for someone chaotic like Young to grab some attention, while simultaneously creating a name for himself.
