5 Reasons why AJ Styles became United States Champion again at WWE Extreme Rules 2019

#3. To eventually push Ricochet

Ricochet will strike back

What seemed quite clear to us is that AJ Styles' feud with Ricochet is purely for the benefit of the latter. Ricochet is one of the fastest rising stars on Monday Night RAW and WWE knows that he's one of the big players they want to push going forward.

In essence, AJ Styles is doing to Ricochet what John Cena did to him three years ago when he arrived. With over three years in WWE, Styles has truly established himself as one of the best veterans on the roster.

The ultimate objective of this rivalry will be to put Ricochet over, which is why you shouldn't be surprised if Ricochet becomes a 2-time Champion within less than a month. The rivalry can extend even beyond the summer, but ultimately, it's all so that Ricochet can get the big rub by beating the veteran.
