#1 WWE Title again in mid-card

Finally a fantastic match between these two legends.

Does this bring back the weird memories of 2011 and 2012? Following the footsteps of the likes of Randy Orton, Christian, CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, the feud between Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles ended without the duo ever main eventing a pay per view despite fighting for the WWE Title.

After the blunder that the company made at Backlash, everyone was expecting this grudge, feud ending match, to close the show in Chicago because, well, it was for the company's top title. However, the company again robbed the fans and these two decorated Superstars of a much deserved main event match just to give Braun Strowman another glory moment in exchange of having not given him the Universal Title.

Styles vs Nakamura IV was everything that we were expecting from these two - a slugfest with the face champion winning the match after full 32 minutes. Yet, these two were not considered good enough to main event even when their match was the most-promoted match. It also took away the suspense of a surprise cash in later in the evening. Braun might be high on the management radar, but it was Styles and Nakamura's night to close the show and end their feud on a fantastic note.
