The OCs that are the team of United States Champion AJ Styles, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson are the self-proclaimed showrunner of Monday Night Raw. They have a reason to claim so as WWE has indeed decided to build these three as a dominant faction.
WWE wanted a replacement after The Shield is no more in existence in the company and decided to go with the revamped version of the former Club members.
WWE Raw full results from this week
AJ Styles has become dominant than ever with the recent heel antics. He inserted a wolf pack mentality to his group which led to several attacks in recent times on several Raw roster members.
This mean streak has also been the reason why AJ Styles has been able to retain the United States Championship over the past couple of months. With no rivalry ongoing for the champion, he will be defending the title against an unknown superstar at Crown Jewel.

WWE has big plans for Shayna Baszler
But we should not expect AJ Styles to lose the US Title on this event as WWE has a plan around him in the near future. They have selected a new member of the WWE RAW roster to dethrone the champion from his title reign.
According to reports from The Dirty Sheets, “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles will begin a feud with Aleister Black for the United States Championship in the near future. Black is the currently scheduled name to end Styles’ reigns as the US Champion.
Previously, Braun Strowman was the selected superstar on this slot. But plans changed in due course as WWE scheduled him in a match against Tyson Fury at Crown Jewel. He also moved to SmackDown Live during WWE Draft which wiped out the chances of seeing this feud. Here’s more update from AJ Styles vs. Aleister Black feud, (courtesy wwfoldschool.com)
“Original plan was for Braun Strowman to end Styles’ US Title reign, but plans have changed and WWE officials have elected to go with Black (they were considering Buddy Murphy too, but Black was decided in the end).
However, this Title change did not happen at WWE Crown Jewel 2019.” (where a 20 Man Battle Royal took place and the winner of this match faced Styles for the Title later that night)
Aleister Black could not perform at Crown Jewel since Saudi Arabia sports authority banned him from the show. His whole body is covered with tattoos which is the main reason behind the same.
He is a Satanist by religion which is not a positive influence from the country’s perspective, as well. So Black will have to wait a little more before getting his hands on AJ Styles.
