Styles and Nakamura revolutionised the wrestling business in Japan. They both main evented countless events, raising the bar higher at each event. Such was their chemistry and in-ring symmetry, that when Styles decided to leave, Nakamura followed suit.
Their drive to be the best pushed each other to the limits, allowing them to regularly meet behind the scenes and discuss how they were going to elevate the brand.
Now over in America, they regularly hang out together, giving each other tips on how to best translate their skills to the American market. They’ve dominated Japan together and for the next decade or so, they’ll dominate the WWE in a similar fashion.
