Shinsuke Nakamura Says He’d Like to Face AJ Styles at WrestleMania

Shinsuke Nakamura was recently interviewed by Yahoo Japan (article is in Japanese) and mentioned that he’d like to face AJ Styles at WrestleMania if the opportunity presented itself.

If the (WrestleMania) opportunity presented itself, I want to do it. AJ doesn’t have an opponent yet, and I’d like to fill that spot. I’ve achieved a lot this year, but there’s much more to do. I want to make more strides over the next year and show my true ability.

AJ Styles responded:

@ShinsukeN how's this? Sorry, but I do have a match at Wrestlemania. N fact, I'll be headlining Wrestlemania after tonight.
