5 reasons why Shinsuke Nakamura should win the Royal Rumble

#5 The Match

AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura headline Wrestle Kingdom 10 in Japan.

If there is no other reason for Shinsuke Nakamura to win the Royal Rumble, a potential match with AJ Styles is a clearly evident one. At Wrestlemania, as fans, we expect some of the best matches of the year, with some of the best storylines in the lead-up. In recent years WreslteMania has been filled with memorable moments as it always is, but those timeless matches at the event that will go down as classics have been few and far between.

Styles vs Nakamura has all the potential in the world to be one of the matches. A classic wrestling match with two of the greatest 'wrestlers' the company has to offer. The two Superstars have styles that work very well together, and that would help each star reach their full wrestling potential. Shinsuke has struggled this year to deliver his patented high-level matches, due to a clash in style and lack of chemistry with his opponents. AJ Styles is a fantastic dance partner that can lead Shinsuke to that higher level.

The two superstars have previously come across one another in Japan, a place known for its high octane matches, with dramatic drawn-out storytelling. The main event of Wrestle Kingdom 10, was the location of the encounter and lived up to the main event status and then some.

The WWE Universe was given a glimpse how special the meeting of these two superstars could be when they briefly squared off in the 2017 Money in the Bank ladder match. The atmosphere in the building seemed nothing short of electric and was evident on the television screen.

AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 34, is a truly special prospect, it just requires the Artist to conquer 29 other men in Philadelphia.
