AJ Styles can’t seem to catch a break when he steps in the ring with Shinsuke Nakamura, because Nakamura is always busting his balls, literally. Styles has defended his title against Shinsuke at the last three WWE pay-per-views, and now he’s set to defend his belt against Nakamura once again because Shane McMahon has confirmed that they’ll be facing off at Money in the Bank.
Every fan of these athletes is looking for a definitive winner, a CLEAR victor…so I am making it official: @AJStylesOrg vs @ShinsukeN for the @WWE Championship at #MITB. #SDLive

With this being the fourth title match in this feud, it seems likely that a stipulation will be added, and it’s been rumored that they will face off in a Last Man Standing match.
WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne recently spoke to SPORTBible about his goals for WWE’s UK division, and he also opened up about which main roster stars he wants to face.
“There’s so many people I’d love to work with like Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan coming back now – there’s a huge list of people but honestly right now my priority is making this UK show a success. If we can be the first sort of territory being established, almost being the guinea pig and making it work, it will do absolute wonders for the wrestling scene in general. That’s my responsibility and focus for now and then down the line I’d love the chance to work with people Rollins, Bryan, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.”
