AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura have been embroiled in a heated rivalry over the WWE championship since the last few months. The two Smackdown superstars faced each other on two separate occasions- WM 34 and Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia.

Styles and Nakamura locked horns once again for the WWE title in a no disqualification match. The two wrestlers delivered low blows to each other, leaving each other exhausted to answer the referee’s ten count.

After a DOUBLE LOW BLOW, neither @AJStylesOrg nor @ShinsukeN could answer the count of 1️⃣0️⃣, so AJ Styles is STILL your @WWE Champion! #WWEBacklash pic.twitter.com/Aql9vG3iZ2
