#1 US Championship match is directionless
It was the final episode before WrestleMania 35, but Samoa Joe is without an opponent. Earlier, Rey Mysterio was scheduled to face the current US Champion but he got injured on RAW where he fought Baron Corbin. In fact, Andrade was set to face Mysterio on Smackdown Live this, but the match got cancelled as the latter suffered an injury.
Joe won the US title before Fastlane when he defeated R-Truth, Rey Mysterio and Andrade in a fatal-4 way match. Subsequently, Mysterio did earn the right to challenge the US Champion at the Show of Shows as he announced his inclusion in the match a few weeks ago. Though Mysterio and Joe are capable in the squared circle, the bout did not have good build-up.
With Rey Mysterio sidelined due to injury, it will be interesting to see who faces the current US Champion. Andrade is definitely a great candidate to face Joe as he was chasing the US title. However, there is no time for the build-up of the US Championship match, and WWE could announce Joe's new opponent on social media or at Metlife Stadium.
