[Kemo]

Andrade is the new WWE United States champion. He defeated Rey Mysterio at a WWE house show from Madison Square Garden on December 26th, 2019. It is the first title Andrade has won since leaving NXT.

Mysterio defeated AJ Styles for the title last month on an episode of RAW from November 25th, 2019. He had won the title for the first time at Money in the Bank this year from Samoa Joe. Mysterio would be forced to vacate the title due to injury not long after, however.

The WWE United States Championship has changed hands nine times in 2019.
