Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles had a tremendous rivalry in NJPW and that carried over to the WWE, where they faced each other for the WWE Championship on multiple occasions. Despite that, Nakamura still believes he can have better matches with AJ Styles.
Nakamura joined Bully Ray and David LaGreca on Busted Open Radio, where he talked about having even better matches with AJ Styles. This is what he said:
“Yeah, but still I want to wrestle him again,” Nakamura replied when asked if he was happy with his matches with Styles. “I think I can do more great matches. Wrestling on pay-per-view, wrestling on the TV show, time is very strict. So, finally, I feel like I got used to the WWE style. So, maybe next time, if I wrestle AJ, I can create more than before.”
He also discussed him getting used to WWE’s style of wrestling, which is different from Japanese wrestling that he’s been doing for the last 14 years.
“WWE style is a much different platform than other wrestling companies, I think. Each wrestler wrestles under strict rules that fans never know,” said Nakamura. “Time-wise, they’re really strict, so you have to choose what is the most important thing to show in five minutes, two minutes, one minute. It’s completely different from other wrestling, I think.”
Nakamura has adjusted well, we’d say, as he has won the US Championship in WWE and had great bouts.
