#3 AJ Styles retains the United States Championship
AJ Styles and Ricochet are another combination that's actually worthy of the SummerSlam card. Normally it would be better if the younger Ricochet gets a victory over a made man like Styles, but the events of the past few weeks have rendered such an outcome a more difficult sell.
AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson have since become the dominant faction in Raw's midcard, and for the leader of the pack to lose his championship at this juncture would undercut the group's momentum.
Perhaps Ricochet will be cheated again and forced to find partners in the future, but it doesn't seem like he should be winning right now.
#4 Kevin Owens DESTROYS Shane McMahon
This is actually the most important match on the card, believe it or not. Shane McMahon's constant presence in 2019 has made both shows unwatchable all by its lonesome. The writing has been on the wall for at least the past two years - whenever Shane McMahon is a heavily featured character, the show gets worse. Whenever he's off TV for extended periods, like he was for SmackDown during most of 2018, the show is better.
Removing him is a must if WWE is going to get better when SmackDown moves to Fox imminently.
As phony as Kevin Owens' Stone Cold tribute act is, it's gotten him popular as a babyface, and he should be the one to end McMahon's terrorizing on Sunday night.
