Shinsuke Nakamura’s feud with AJ Styles has been heating up as of late, and last week Nakamura earned the right to choose the stipulation for their upcoming title match at Money in the Bank when he defeated Styles on SmackDown Live.
This week, Nakamura attacked Styles and announced that they’ll be facing off in a Last Man Standing match next month.
AJ Styles recently took to Twitter to hype up the match, and he told fans that he’ll be the one standing at the end of Money in the Bank.
Styles posted the following:
Since November of 2017 I have stood as the @WWE Champion. And whether the match was No DQ, 2 vs. 1, steel cage, triple threat, or a dream…
I’ve stood tall.
And you better believe I’ll be standing at the end of #MITB. #AndStill #Phenomenal
