10 Totally Stupid Things WWE Has ALREADY DONE Since WrestleMania 34

4. Cup Tied

Shinsuke Nakamura's fabulous heel turn hasn't yet yielded the good match he's been sorely lacking on the main roster, but his crazed facials and cynical verbal deliveries have been the highlight of just about every edition of SmackDown Live! since WrestleMania, but his target of choice hasn't half made his job easier.

AJ Styles' has made his feelings on certain communities clear in the past, but if he's that adverse to blokes getting near a particular area, why on earth hasn't he invested in some form of under-armour by now?!

'The King Of Strong Style' severed a gentleman's agreement by attacking AJ Styles' with such ferocity that their Greatest Royal Rumble rematch was predictably framed around Nakamura finding exactly the right moment to strike. Even then, 'The Phenomenal One' was caught without a cup, almost vindicating Shinsuke's targeted assault.

Styles lost his cool on that boiling hot night in Saudi Arabia, with a finish designed to protect both men and the match itself ahead of what has to be a payoff one way or another at Backlash. AJ either finally guards his own naks to come out on top, or Shinsuke's shift at long last lures with it a creditable clash and his first WWE Championship.
