8 New Directions After WWE Fastlane 2018

2. Hype For Styles Vs. Nakamura Can Begin Properly

Fans have been teased by WWE since last year's Money in the Bank that Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles would go head-to-head. Since then, Nakamura has won the Royal Rumble, Styles has resumed his workmanlike ways as SmackDown's top babyface and others, like John Cena, have even threatened to stick their nose in.

A crystal clear picture was painted at Fastlane, and it's about time. Shinsuke gatecrashed AJ's promo earlier in the show, and WWE also ran a match graphic for Nakamura vs. Styles at 'Mania after AJ had defended his title in a Six Pack Challenge.

There's no way they can back out now.

Build towards the one match people have yearned for since last summer has to begin immediately. On the next episode of SmackDown, it's important that Nakamura and Styles sign the contract that seals their match and lets everyone know that it'll be a singles affair, one devoid of any unwanted intrusions.
