Last month on an episode of RAW in Little Rock, Arkansas, WWE held a Gauntlet Match to determine who will be the next star in line to challenge for the strap.
Ricochet, Rey Mysterio, Cesaro, Sami Zayn and Andrade were the stars that competed in this contest. As a result of Ricochet winning, he got the shot against “The Phenomenal One.”
Styles beat Ricochet to win the United States Title in June at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event in Philadelphia, PA.
Ricochet beat Samoa Joe to win the title at the WWE Stomping Grounds pay-per-view event in Tacoma, WA back in June. This marked Ricochet’s first title on the main roster.
Both stars will likely receive new opponents for different feuds heading into the Clash of Champions pay-per-view event on Sunday, September 15, 2019 in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Spectrum Center.
