The plans in WWE change with each passing week and many Superstars, unfortunately, miss out on some big moments due to the unforeseen events that take place backstage.
As revealed by Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Humberto Carrillo was originally scheduled to win the United States Championship a long time ago from AJ Styles.
However, that didn't happen and Andrade was picked to dethrone AJ Styles.
Meltzer stated:
It wouldn't surprise me that this thing continues and Carrillo gets it back soon enough. The original booking was that Carrillo was going to become the US Champion and things kept getting in the way of that. He originally supposed to win it from AJ. But, you know, things happened and things changed and that's how things happen.

This is supposed to be a lengthy programme, so they didn't want to change the title.And again, I don't know if you're booking this, if you are relegating this match to the pre-show, even though it is at the Rumble and all that, I don't know if I'd want to change the title because the reaction wouldn't be that good. It would probably be better to do it at the TV tapings. So, there you go.
Andrade and Carrillo are expected to have a lengthy programme but with the champ now suspended for a month, we could see another booking change as we approach the biggest PPV of the year.
