#3 Shinsuke Nakamura vs AJ Styles
AJ Styles made history when he defeated Jinder Mahal for the WWE Championship in England on the November 7 episode of SmackDown Live in Manchester, England. This marked the first time the title changed hands on SmackDown since September 2003, claiming his second WWE Championship and becoming recognized by WWE as the first titleholder crowned outside of North America.
Nakamura, on the other hand, is a former NXT champion and the youngest IWGP Heavyweight Champion in history, having won the title for the first time at the age of 23 years and 9 months.
Both Nakamura and Styles wrestled for New Japan Pro-Wrestling and they have a long history that began several years ago. The two had a memorable match when they met at the Wrestle Kingdom 10 on January 4th, 2016. The match was in the conversation for match of the year in 2016 as the two wrestlers put on a spectacular show that night.
Nakamura won the match in what was a mouth-watering clash for the ages after 25 minutes of back and forth action. This match marked Syles last appearance in Japan before debuting at the 2016 Royal Rumble. The WWE can rekindle this rivalry by having Nakamura challenge Styles for the WWE Championship at the biggest stage, Wrestlemania 34, to give the fans a great main event contest at Wrestlemania.
