AJ Styles Will Defend The WWE Championship Against Shinsuke Nakamura At The 'Greatest Royal Rumble' Event

The "dream match" will have a sequel.

Since falling short to AJ Styles at WrestleMania 34 Shinsuke Nakamura has been on a tirade of handing out "low-blows" to "The Phenomenal One". The sneak attacks continued last night on SmackDown Live as Nakamura delivered another cheap shot to AJ Styles while Styles' attention was locked in on the action in the ring while he was standing on the ring apron during a tag team match.

There will be no more room for "low-blows" come April 27th as "The King Of Strong Style" looks to become WWE Champion. WWE announced via Twitter that at the 'Greatest Royal Rumble' event at the King Abdullah International Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, AJ Styles will defend his WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura.
