#7 AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (WWE Championship) – draw

The ma
The match will happen again at Backlash

Match: Shinsuke Nakamura looked to have stolen the win when he capitalised on a mix-up between the referee and AJ Styles to hit his opponent with yet another low-blow. However, Styles grabbed hold of the rope and the match continued. A few minutes later, the WWE champion ignored the ref and continued to attack Nakamura at ringside, leading to both men being counted out.

Verdict: It says a lot about the underwhelming WrestleMania 34 meeting between these two guys that, despite the count-out finish, this match in Saudi Arabia was still better than what we saw in New Orleans. Granted, the finish was disappointing, but the match itself was very good. Roll on the rematch at Backlash.
