5 Possible shocks that could happen at WWE Money In The Bank 2018

#1 AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura gets a new stipulation

AJ Styles defeated Shinsuke Nakamura at WrestleMania 34

The No Disqualification WWE Championship match between AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura at Backlash ended in a no contest after both men struck each other with a low-blow and failed to stand up after a 10-count.

Naturally, a rematch was announced for the Money In The Bank PPV and Nakamura was allowed to choose a stipulation after defeating Styles in a non-title match on SmackDown Live, so he decided that the MITB match will be contended under Last Man Standing rules.

If this new stipulation was in place at Backlash, the result would have been exactly the same – a draw, as neither man got back to his feet in time – so it seems strange that WWE has booked a Last Man Standing match when it was a Last Man Standing ruling that couldn’t separate the two men last month.

SmackDown Live General Manager Paige said last week that, whatever happens, there will definitely be a winner when the long-term rivals do battle for the fifth time in two months at Money In The Bank, so we reckon there’s a possibility that the Last Man Standing match ends in a draw and Paige demands that it restarts under a new stipulation – say, a pinfall or submission-only match – to determine a definitive winner.
