In case you didn’t know…

During today’s Royal Rumble match, former NXT Champion and SmackDown Live superstar Shinsuke Nakamura was the 14th entrant in the match, as The King of Strong Style put up a clinical performance from start to finish. Competing in his first ever Royal Rumble match, Nakamura eliminated the likes of Sami Zayn, 16-time World Champion John Cena, and lastly “The Big Dog” Roman Reigns to win the Royal Rumble match.

The heart of the matter

In Nakamura’s post-match backstage interview, “The Artist” revealed the exact reason why he decided to choose AJ Styles as his opponent for WrestleMania 34, as Nakamura stated that his upcoming match against Styles in New Orleans will be at the peak of the mountain, when it comes to having big matches across the entire world.

Additionally, Nakamura also weighed in on the fact that he had two options, but the reason why he chose AJ Styles as his WM opponent is that he believes that the WWE Universe wants to see him and “The Phenomenal One” finally square off one-on-one inside a WWE ring.

Furthermore, Nakamura also posted a heartfelt tweet where he thanked the WWE Universe for supporting him in his journey in the WWE so far.

What a night!!! I can’t thank you enough @WWEUniverse. You guys were behind me,that was very reassuring!!! #royalrumble pic.twitter.com/qX2cu553We
