2. The Mind Games Of Shinsuke Nakamura

The WWE universe has been seeing a side of Shinsuke Nakamura lately that it hasn’t had the opportunity to see yet during his time in the company.  A WrestleMania 34 loss to AJ Styles has brought out a heel version of the charismatic and quirky Nakamura that has even been a bit psychotic at times.

For the fourth time since early-April, Styles and Nakamura will compete for the WWE Championship this Sunday at Money In The Bank.  But unlike the previous matches, this match will be under Last Man Standing rules.  Those rules have consumed The King Of Strong Style as of late as he has been obsessed with laying out superstars while counting to 10.

Nakamura has been in the mind of Styles a lot over the past couple months, but it has been taken to another level in recent weeks.  Each week on SmackDown, The Phenomenal One seemingly gets more frustrated with Nakamura and if that continues at Money In The Bank, that might be all it takes for Nakamura to finally get his hands on the WWE Championship.

Styles’ over-aggressiveness could come back to haunt him given how much he wants to get his hands on Nakamura.  It has been a long time coming, but it seems like it could finally be time for Nakamura to win the WWE Championship.  It might even be now or never because another failed opportunity to capture the gold could set him back for a while.

The King Of Strong Style has to capitalize at Money In The Bank and his mind games could be the key to doing just that.
