5 WWE stars who could dethrone Bobby Lashley for the US Championship

#3. AJ Styles could win the US Championship

AJ Styles could challenge for the US Championship on RAW

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles was one of the biggest additions to the red brand during this year's WWE Draft. The two-time WWE Champion returned to RAW after a brief run on SmackDown, where he won the Intercontinental Championship.

Now that he is on RAW, it is time for him to assume a more significant role. As most fans may remember, Styles has won the US Championship a handful of times. The Phenomenal One elevated the US Championship to great heights when he held it. Hence, another run with the title could add prestige to the US Championship.

The current US Champion, Bobby Lashley, and The Phenomenal AJ Styles are no strangers to each other. These two larger-than-life Superstars crossed paths several times in TNA. However, they have never faced each other inside a WWE ring, making a potential encounter between Styles and Lashley for the US Champion more intriguing. It is a dream match that fans would love to see.

Moreover, the external, outside factor of The Hurt Business will be somewhat neutralized by Styles' new bodyguard - the gigantic Jordon Omogbehin. Styles is one of the most gifted performers and characters of this era; he raises the bar and the standard wherever he goes. Styles works as a heel right now, so he would have to turn face to battle the villainous Bobby Lashley for the US Championship.
