AJ Styles (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, WWE Championship
Jack Clayton: This is the match I am looking forward to the most at this year’s WrestleMania. With Styles being my favorite overall wrestler, it’s great to see him in a world title match at the event. Is it possible that this will be better than his and Nakamura’s match at Wrestle Kingdom 10? Absolutely. It’s a hard match to call though. My head says it’s Nakamura’s time at the top. But my heart says that Styles should keep the championship.
Bryan Heaton: I think this match will be the greatest WWE Championship match in WrestleMania history, because I will never learn about making wild predictions. They could do a beat for beat recreation of their Wrestle Kingdom 10 match and I’d be okay with it. In the end, Nakamura wins to make some history as the first Japanese-born WWE Champion.
Liam Hoofe: This one really could go either way. It is likely to steal the show on Sunday night, and should be a coming out party for Shinsuke if he wins it all.
Christopher Jeter: If you told me a year ago that these two would co-headline a WrestleMania, I would still be on the floor laughing to this day. But WWE is indeed giving the fans a dream match for the richest prize in the company. I don’t expect these two to mirror what they did at Wrestle Kingdom a couple of years ago. They’re a couple of years older and will be restricted by the WWE style. But I still think this earns the match of the night distinction. I also expect Nakamura to follow through on his promise to win the WWE title with a knee to the face.
Trace Johnson: This has to be the most anticipated match at WrestleMania 34, and for good reason. These two could produce an all-time great match, but Nakamura needs to get the win and finally break through on the main roster to become WWE Champion on the grandest stage.
Joe Soriano: This whole build has been about AJ Styles being “too emotional”, and it makes me wonder if Styles might actually retain. Most people seem to be going with Nakamura, and I am, too, but for one reason only. I think AJ ends up on Raw, and he can’t do that with the title, simply because Roman will hold the Universal Title. And no, they won’t trade places, because I can’t see the red title ending up on the blue show.
