WWE RAW: 3 Superstars who can feud with Samoa Joe for the US Championship

Samoa Joe recaptured the United States championship on RAW after an unfortunate injury forced Rey Mysterio to relinquish the title. The way Samoa Joe regained the title was criticized by fans because they wanted a tournament or at least a multi-man match to crown the new United States champion.

Nevertheless, the Destroyer is the US champion now, and he is need of an opponent. It will be interesting to see if WWE gives Samoa Joe a match at their next pay-per-view event but with the event taking place in just 2 weeks, the chances of a United States title match happening are very less.

But, with a plethora of Superstars directionless on RAW, we can see a mini-feud for the US title until 23rd June. Here are the 3 RAW Superstars who can challenge Samoa Joe for the United States championship:

---

#3 Ricochet

Ricochet and Cesaro can have a #1 contender's match on RAW

Ricochet has been impressing everyone with his in-ring skills on RAW but the NXT graduate is yet to win a championship on the main roster. With his matches versus Cesaro receiving immense praise from the WWE Universe, WWE can book one more match between the two Superstars but this time the winner will get a US title shot.

Cesaro is likely to portray a heel character on the red brand and to pit a heel Cesaro against a heel Samoa Joe does not make sense. Hence, WWE should allow The One and Only to take the victory here and then battle for the US title versus Samoa Joe.

Though Ricochet may not be booked to win the US title, he can have an amazing match with Samoa Joe.

#2 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman had a brawl with Samoa Joe on SmackDown Live two months ago

An exciting feud which WWE teased after WrestleMania 35 was a United States championship rivalry between Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman. Though the WWE Creative team did not book a match between the two, their brawl drew the attention of the WWE Universe.

It seemed like we will get a US title match featuring Joe and Strowman at WWE Money In The Bank but the writers did not give any progression to that feud.

But, they can book that feud now because Samoa Joe does not have any opponents while the Monster Among Men recently defeated Bobby Lashley at WWE Super Showdown. The fight between two of the most popular WWE Superstars of RAW can help in increasing the viewership numbers of the flagship as well.

#1 The Miz

Two of the finest WWE superstars on the mic

The Miz has turned face now but he has been directionless ever since his feud with Shane McMahon ended. The former SmackDown tag team champion needs an opponent now and Samoa Joe can be the best possible option. Joe and the Miz both are fantastic on mic and their promos can elevate the US title feud to the next level.

The WWE Universe has been wanting to see a match between the Destroyer and the Most Must See Superstar ever since the Miz turned face. WWE can simply announce a Miz TV segment for this week's RAW where the United States Champion, Samoa Joe will be the special guest.

The interview would go on as per the proceedings until the Miz would take a jibe at Samoa Joe provoking the Samoan Submission Machine. We can get a tag team match then where Roman Reigns and the Miz would team up to take on Drew McIntyre and Samoa Joe. The Miz would pin Joe and then he can get himself a United States Championship match at the next pay-per-view event.
