Nakamura and Style's curtain closer was a barn-burner of a match.

Not the only match from Money in the Bank 2018 to feature on this list, the final match between AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura was also their best match, as the two put on an absolutely brutal yet clinical Last Man Standing bout.

It was after months of tension between the pair, and how Nakamura keeps DQing himself to get out of tough matches. This eventually led to Nakamura beating Styles to decide the stipulation of their match, which he chose to be a Last Man Standing match.

The match started slow, as both men were distrustful of each other. They moved on from this to have Styles take control, as the action moved outside. the King of Strong Style used his tactics to take control of the match again, which he maintained for a long time. Even though Styles tried his best to reclaim control, Nakamura brought in a table as an equalizer.

In an uncommon move, the man who set up the table (Nakamura) actually put his opponent through it, brutally flinging Styles into the table set up in the corner. Chair shots and low blows eventually followed as Styles finished Nakamura outside the ring with a Phenomenal Forearm through the table.

A brutal and fitting end to this rivalry, Styles and Nakamura finally delivered a quality match in their WWE series. Even though Nakamura should have won, the match was too tremendous for anyone to hold that over this.

Styles and Nakamura went all out to prove the other to be inferior. This match had layers upon layers of story, as both men were determined to beat the other out of their life. Styles succeeded, and he took the fans along with him for this ride.
