10 HUGE WWE Money In The Bank 2018 Predictions You Need To Know

2. Last Man Standing

AJ Styles Shinsuke Nakamura

Shinsuke Nakamura's time is now. If not, it's never.

'The King Of Strong Style' has set up a summer residence in and around the crotch of the WWE Champion in order to get this last gasp shot at his title, and if he can't leave the 'Phenomenal One' flat on his b*lls he's got nothing left to gain from even sticking around on SmackDown Live!

Frustratingly, his post-WrestleMania heel stint has been a joy, but without a title to show for his sh*thousery, his credibility is lost.

Rumoured leaked Extreme Rules matches featured these two battling again, which can surely only mean Shinsuke winning on Sunday to give the company an excuse to persist with such an interminable angle. The 'Show Of Shows' snoozer was billed as a 'Dream Match', but few programmes have exposed the nightmarish reality of WWE in 2018. The sooner both move on to something - anything - new, the better. Nakamura sporting his first WWE singles title as a trophy would at least leave a lasting legacy beyond endless low blows.
