10 Big WWE Questions Hanging Over WrestleMania 34

2. Are We Finally Getting Styles vs. Nakamura?

Much like Asuka vs. Nia Jax is getting in the way of one Japanese star's big 'Mania moment, the ongoing WWE Title situation between AJ Styles, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn is getting in the way of another.

People want to see Shinsuke Nakamura go one-on-one with Styles at WrestleMania. The match is a love-letter to fans who prioritise work rate over anything else, and it's the one match that could finally convince casual WWE viewers of Nakamura's brilliance.

Those pesky February and March pay-per-views are getting in the way again though. At Fastlane, AJ defends against KO, Zayn and Corbin/Ziggler in a Fatal 4-Way. There's no way Styles is losing on March 11, but the match happens just four weeks before 'Mania.

Ideally, WWE should give a match the level of AJ vs. Shinsuke more time to simmer. This secondary feud with KO/Sami needs putting to bed so SmackDown can move on to the match everyone cares about.
