#3. WWE fans want AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura again

AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura couldn't meet the sky-high expectations at WrestleMania 34.

At WrestleMania 34, The WWE Universe finally received the long-awaited dream match between the King of Strong Style and the Phenomenal One. Shinsuke Nakamura won the 2018 Royal Rumble to earn an opportunity at AJ Styles' WWE Championship.

However, the expectations were sky-high. Most fans had followed them from their time at NJPW, so they were anticipating a five-star classic.

While their stellar contest at Wrestle Kingdom 10 was better. Nakamura and Styles had an entertaining encounter that had its moments. AJ Styles was victorious after turning the Kinshasa into a Styles Clash.

Furthermore, the aftermath got people talking as Nakamura would turn heel by executing a low-blow on the champion.

Styles and Nakamura would battle several times again, but fans weren't thrilled. Now that all the lofty expectations are gone, Nakamura and Styles may be able to put on better matches.

There are a few roadblocks to a potential program between Nakamura and Styles. The Phenomenal One is one half of the RAW Tag Team Champions with Omos and Nakamura is battling King Corbin for the crown on SmackDown.

Although it may be far-fetched right now, Styles and Nakamura will battle again in a WWE ring, and this time it might live up to the expectations of the past.
