WWE SmackDown General Manager welcomed icon and WWE Raw star AJ Styles to Friday nights to discuss some business. Styles will be putting his career on the line against Gunther at the Royal Rumble. In spite of all of that, Styles is not backing down from any challenge in his final year as an active professional wrestler, and that’s how massive this WrestleMania rematch on WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event (SNME) XLIII<\/a> came to be.<\/p>\n

Styles has a rich history with this individual, dating back to their time in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), as well as their wars on the WWE main roster, and that man is Shinsuke Nakamura.<\/p>\n

Shinsuke Nakamura would enter Aldis’ office, saying that Styles’ career cannot end like this, and if he still has it in him, Styles needs to prove to Nakamura that he’s still “Phenomenal.” AJ turned to Aldis and asked if there was still room on the card, and the head honcho said there was plenty of space.<\/p>\n

Styles was more than happy to take on Nakamura, as he expressed on this week’s SmackDown<\/a>, looking to put on a bigger and better match than the one they had at WrestleMania 34 for the WWE Championship.<\/p>\n

AJ Styles is “Phenomenal” for a reason, and now, he has a date with one of his fiercest rivals as they run it back at the 43rd edition of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. This might be AJ Styles’ last year in WWE, but he intends to fight like he has a decade more to go.<\/p>\n
