We will witness the final chapter of AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura rivalry at the MITB PPV.
Shane McMahon sent out a tweet informing that these two needs to settle things at the upcoming show. He ensured we should get a fair result from the next match. So, he arranged an additional match between these two on last week’s Smackdown from London.
Shinsuke Nakamura cleanly pinned the WWE Champion to earn a benefit. He got to choose the stipulation of the upcoming title match at MITB.
We learned that he would declare the unrevealed stipulation of the match, last night. WWE confirmed that before the show came to air from Worcester, Massachusetts.

The rules of the match go in favour of the challenger. It is a type of match where he will not have to pin or submit the champion. The only way to win the contest is to incapacitate your opponent until the referee’s ten-count.
Shinsuke Nakamura has to hurt the champion badly so that Styles can’t answer to referee’s count.
The Artist has recently become a con-Artist. It is the best capacity that he can expect to win the championship. He can come up with numerous low blows or heel antics.
The referee can’t do anything, as this one will be a No Disqualification affair. We know from the past that this type of match favours the heel superstars. The title is most likely to change hands due to this favourable situation.
