10 WWE Matches We Thought We Wanted To See (Until We Saw Them)

10. WrestleMania 34: Shinsuke Nakamura Vs. AJ Styles

AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura have justifiably earned reputations as two of the best in-ring performers on WWE's current roster. Moreover, these two future Hall of Famer's had some epic clashes in Japan. Considering their history, most fans expected a match for the ages when they met at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship.

After all, WrestleMania tends to bring out the best in a performer, and given their respective bodies of work, fans were justified in expecting fireworks when these two met on 'The Grandest Stage of Them All.'

Unfortunately, it turned out to be an ordinary, mostly forgettable match. To be fair, it wasn't awful. However, the two never really had the audience on the edge of their seats, and the highlight-worthy spots weren't as plentiful as many fans had hoped.

It did help that they were followed by the whole Braun Strowman teaming with a random kid named Nicholas, which was significantly worse and became a more obvious focal point for fans' outrage.

Still, Nakamura and Styles' WrestleMania 34 match was a bit of a dud.
