AJ Styles Hopes Shinsuke Nakamura Wins The Title At SUMMERSLAM So He Can Face Him For It At WRESTLEMANIA
It's really only a matter of when, not if AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura have a one-on-one match in WWE, and The Phenomenal One wants that to happen on the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania....
AJ Styles has already expressed his desire to face-off against Shinsuke Nakamura at WrestleMania, but the fact that The King of Strong Style now has a shot at Jider Mahal's WWE Championship later this month at SummerSlam adds a whole new level of hype to their potential one-on-one match.
Of course, nothing has been confirmed yet - but during a Q&A at Wizard World Columbus, The Phenomenal One once again named Nakamura as his dream Mania opponent.
“I’m picking Shinsuke. Sorry, that’s nothing on Finn Balor. The reason why I say this is because at WrestleMania, it’s not going to happen with Finn Balor and I. Why? Because he’s on RAW. Shinsuke’s my best chance getting into that Main Event picture at Wrestlemania, that’s why he wins the championship. I hope he wins it so I can get in there and wrestle him at WrestleMania. I think it’s great that Shinsuke is getting an opportunity to be… I don’t know if it’s going to be main event but I think it’s cool that it’s going to be one of them. This guy has paid his dues, he’s been in Japan for a long time and he’s so charismatic in everything he does. I’m looking forward to the match just like everyone else.”
Do AJ's comments suggest that Nak has the title in the bag? Well, we'll just have to wait and see - but one thing's for sure, if these two were to go head-to-head for the title at WrestleMania, many fans would lose their damn minds.
