Rey Mysterio has dethroned AJ Styles as the WWE United States Champion.
The future WWE Hall of Famer did so when he beat Styles to capture the secondary title on Monday Night RAW in Chicago, Illinois at the Allstate Arena on the USA Network.
The match was originally supposed to be Styles defending against Humberto Carrillo, but The OC attacked Humberto before the match. This led to a Fatal 4 Way Match being booked that saw Mysterio beat Randy Orton, Ricochet and Drew McIntyre to become the new #1 contender to the title.
WWE booked the championship contest right after the #1 contender’s match which is when Mysterio won the title.
