This week on Monday Night Raw, AJ Styles was set to defend his United States Championship against Humberto Carrillo. However, Carrillo was attacked before the match by Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows.
Instead, it was Rey Mysterio who took on AJ Styles. The match was made after Rey defeated Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton and Ricochet in a four-way match earlier on in the night.
Rey Mysterio ultimately walked out of the match with the victory and the United States Championship.
It would seem like working a United States Championship program with AJ Styles is a curse. AJ’s former rival Cedric Alexander fell out of favour with Vince after working with the champ, and it seems like the same has happened to Carrillo.
According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer‘s review of Raw, Vince McMahon is done with Humberto Carrillo. The former 205 Live star will stop receiving a big push on Raw:
“Vince is done with Humberto Carrillo for the time being. He’s giving him the ‘Cedric Alexander.’ Like you’re still gonna see him on TV. I’m sure he’s gonna win here and there, but like it’s exactly like Cedric Alexander. He got a few weeks, Vince thought he wasn’t getting over, so he’s just — he’s done.”
Humberto has a lot of potential. His move set is rather impressive and he should help Raw attract some younger viewers. However, it was far too early to be giving Carrillo such a big feud with AJ Styles.
