Immediately after their somewhat disappointing WrestleMania title match, Shinsuke Nakamura dropped AJ Styles with a low blow to turn heel.

Since then, Nakamura has been using the low blow as a calling card, likely resulting in Styles being unable to have children for the foreseeable future. Sunday’s WWE Championship match between the two is a no-DQ match, which means that either man can legally hit below the waistline as much as they want. They can go full Ric Flair if they so choose.

Given that the low blow has been an integral part of nearly every encounter between the two since ‘Mania, it’s fair to say that we’ll likely see it come into play on Sunday. It’s just a question of when – and who.
