5 Dream opponents for AJ Styles at Wrestlemania 33

3. Shinsuke Nakamura

The two men’s chemistry has already been seen in their unforgettable New Japan Pro Wrestling match

Even though these two have already faced off in a classic at NJPW’s show Wrestle Kingdom 10 in January, a match (and rivalry) between Styles and Nakamura has not been showcased on the bigger stage of WWE. Sure, Nakamura isn’t even on the main roster yet, but once he debuts, this should be top of the list for his potential rivals.

As seen in their NJPW bout, the two men’s chemistry is off the charts, and with both competitor’s awesome arsenal of signature moves, Styles vs Nakamura would be guaranteed to steal the show at Wrestlemania 33.

Now that Styles is in the prime of his run as a heel, and Nakamura is ready to debut as a top babyface, a bout at Wrestlemania 33 for the WWE World Championship could be the perfect place to crown the King of Strong-Style as a main-eventer in WWE.

Although some casual fans will be sceptical about Nakamura’s ability, this match would put all those doubts to bed, as it would most certainly be a match of the year contender. With the right build, crowd, and stage, the Phenomenal One vs the King of Strong-Style could be one of the best Wrestlemania bouts in years.
