5 Possible US Championship contenders for AJ Styles after Cedric Alexander

#4 Finn Balor

Some serious storyline potential here.

Finn Balor was last seen on WWE TV getting brutalized by the Fiend and is currently on leave from the company, getting married a month ago.

However, like for every other impending Superstar return, WWE should start running down ideas for his return. One idea could be for him to become a part of Raw and instantly get involved with AJ Styles and The OC.

However, Balor could initially come in and challenge The Phenomenal One for the United States Championship, remaining a babyface in the process for just a little while longer.

We all know that these two could put on a fantastic match against one another, so why not get a match or two against each other before the eventual turn?

Following a defeat due to The OC's malicious numbers game, Balor could give in and finally join his friends from Japan. The former NXT Champion could really make this group a force, after a slightly rocky period for Styles and company.

This could have many potential storylines, like a complete domination of Raw or perhaps Balor kicking Styles himself out of his own faction. This would instantly make the United States Championship much more prestigious.
