AJ Styles Talks About His WRESTLEMANIA Match With Shinsuke Nakamura; "This Could Be Huge"
At last night's Fastlane PPV, AJ Styles emerged from the Six-Pack Challenge still WWE Champion. That puts him on a collision course with Shinsuke Nakamura and here he talks about the scale of that match.
AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura at WrestleMania is a dream match and one we now know is officially happening after last night's Fastlane PPV. The two men have a lot of history in Japan and even for fans unaware of that, seeing two of the best wrestlers in the world go toe to toe on the Grandest Stage of Them All is a must, especially with a prize as prestigious as the WWE title on the line.
During an interview which took place before yesterday's PPV, Styles was asked about the match and made it clear that he believes it has a huge amount of potential...and that he's out for revenge.
"There could be a chance of headlining WrestleMania this year. I’ve got to make it through Fastlane before I can do this, but if I get the opportunity to wrestle Shinsuke Nakamura at WrestleMania, a match that no one has seen on U.S. soil, and only happened once in Japan, this could be huge. I need some payback [for NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 10], but he doesn’t have the home field advantage this time. So it’s exciting to think that something like that could happen, even if it’s not the main event. They’re going to wish it had been. I expect this match to be amazing. Nakamura is a great talent here and I feel like we're going to tear the place apart to be honest with you."
Chances are that the main event of the show will be Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar but seeing as The Big Dog has been given that spot for three years in a row, many fans are hoping another match will get that spot. It's hard to think of one more deserving than this, though, so here's hoping we get to see Styles and Nakamura steal the show during the final match of the night. What do you think?
