#2 Cedric Alexander
Probably one of the most logical choices to face AJ Styles for the title at WWE Crown Jewel is Cedric Alexander, who has been on a quest to win the title from Styles for the last few months.
Towards the middle of the Summer, rumors swirled regarding a major push for Cedric Alexander on RAW, as the new Executive Director Paul Heyman is reportedly a big fan of the former Cruiserweight Champion. However, Alexander has had numerous opportunities to win the U.S. title from Styles and has always come out on the losing end of the fight.
It seems as if current rumors indicate that Cedric Alexander might have fallen out of favor with Vince McMahon, and the boss might have made the call to curtail Alexander's push on the main roster and RAW. Alexander remained a member of the RAW roster following the 2019 Draft, so he could conceivably finally defeat AJ Styles at Crown Jewel and bring the title back to RAW, but it remains to be seen whether or not WWE is committed to renewing any kind of push for the talented former 205 Live Superstar.
We have seen great matches between Alexander and AJ Styles in the past, so another bout could be a great cap to the months-long feud.
