Start looking out your Kleenex, because there's still a chance we might not see AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura at WrestleMania 34.

Speaking via Catch Newz, Triple H stated that AJ still hadn't been medically cleared by WWE doctors for the event, and (though he and docs expects everything will be fine) the company are taking every precaution necessary to ensure their WWE Title match - and Champion - aren't in jeopardy.

The most worrying part of Triple H's speech came when he said WWE would get Styles the right clearance "if possible". This writer represents every wrestling fan when he angrily shakes a fist at the wrestling Gods for even teasing that AJ vs. Shinsuke might not happen.

There's a great chance it will, but it's surprising to learn that Styles still hasn't been cleared by medics before one of the biggest matches of his career. WrestleMania is only a few weeks away, so it's not cool to hear that one half of such an anticipated bout is having to undergo stringent physical tests.
