Clean AJ Styles win
This would ensure that a measure of stability and status quo is afforded to the US Title and also allow Kevin Owens to move on to other feuds.
AJ Styles is the US Champion and quite frankly, in the face of John Cena tapering off to a part-time schedule, he absolutely needs to continue holding down at least one important Title belt on SmackDown Live.
Given that an air of unease hangs over just how effective this WWE Championship experiment with the likes of Jinder Mahal and Shinsuke Nakamura will be, it's all the more important that AJ Styles - a dependable babyface that the crowd can get behind - serves as a rallying point for the Blue brand.
And a clean win over Kevin Owens to retain the US Championship will go a long way towards ensuring that.
