The United States Championship will be defended this weekend at Money in the Bank when Samoa Joe takes on Rey Mysterio for the second time in a month. Mysterio could become a Grand Slam Champion with a victory over The Samoan Submission Machine since The United States title has always alluded him despite being part of the WWE for more than a decade.

Interestingly, the last time the United States Championship was defended at Money in the Bank was back in 2016 when Rusev was holding the title and successfully defeated Titus O'Neil. It's interesting to note that Rusev hasn't won a match on WWE pay-per-view in almost two years which shows just how long it's been since WWE has taken the United States Championship seriously.
