The United States Championship has become an afterthought for those in the company. I mean it was a big deal back when John Cena was the Champion but it's fallen in importance since then. Rey Mysterio and Samoa Joe did attempt to bring prestige back to the title, but then Mysterio's injuries put several plans into disarray.
AJ Styles and Ricochet could have a very heated program that will reignite and revive interest for the United States Championship. Styles is someone who belongs in the Universal Championship picture and so his very presence elevates this title a fair bit. It also gives Ricochet, who's a relatively new WWE Superstar a big rub.
I had the chance to interview Ricochet last year, during his time in NXT. When asked about who he would like to mix it up with in WWE, AJ Styles was one of the names that he mentioned.
