Sometimes you don't need a compelling storyline for a match to be great. 

Because the four-way United States Title Championship from Fastlane 2019 was an obvious case of sticking four talented individuals out there, giving them ten minutes and telling them to tear it up. 

Originally, Rey Mysterio and Andrade were going to have a match on the kickoff show, but WWE decided to have them, along with R-Truth, go after Samoa Joe's US Title instead, a rematch from the previous episode of SmackDown. 

The results were spectacular, as the action was hot and heavy from the opening bell, Joe hitting a huge running dive through the ropes within the opening minute. Mysterio continued to look ageless, hitting a flawless springboard hurricanrana that took out both Truth and Andrade, before planting the champ with a beautiful swinging DDT. 

He then upped the ante by dropping Andrade with a 'rana as El Idolo sat on Truth's shoulders. 

Everyone looked good and there were some nifty and intricate sequences involving multiple participants. Zelina and Carmella got into it on the outside, too, before the big finishing flurry, which ended when Rey hit the 619 on the Samoan Submission Machine, but missed the big splash and fell to the choke, allowing Joe to retain.  

Just non-stop excitement for ten minutes that had the crowd on their feet the whole time and a great example of a spotfest that had psychology, selling and heat.
