1. AJ Styles Vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

Another tease WWE are set to follow up on happened last summer at Money in the Bank. There, smack bang in the middle of a MITB ladder match, AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura had a tense stare down that sent the Scottrade Center in St. Louis berserk.

Six months on, we have confirmation that WWE are ready to present the one match so many want to see.

WWE didn't waste any time setting the match up at Royal Rumble. Mere moments after Nakamura won the bout, he let it be known he's coming for AJ Styles and the WWE Title. Almost immediately afterwards, fan boy-ish yelps of delight could be seen all over social media.

There will be some anger at the fact AJ vs. Naka is unlikely to headline 'Mania, but at least it's finally happening. With the dreadful title feud he had against Jinder Mahal last year now firmly behind him, Shinsuke may be about to star in a coronation that will blow a certain Superman Punch-loving star out of the water.

Believe that.
