Shinsuke Nakamura will get to choose the stipulation for his match against AJ Styles at Money in the Bank. This came after Nakamura defeated Styles on Smackdown Live this week. Here is a list of some possible stipulations that we think Nakamura could choose.
6) Last Man Standing
One of the rumors floating around about the stipulation for Styles vs Nakamura is that it will be a Last Man Standing match. This is a match where two wrestlers fight until one of them is knocked out or unable to fight anymore. The referee must count to ten while the wrestler is laying down. The last man standing wins.
It would make a bit of sense based on how their last match ended at Backlash. Both guys couldn’t get to their feet in time before the referee counted ten. A logical next step could be to determine which of the two will be the Last Man Standing.
Personally, I am not fully convinced that WWE will go this route. These matches can end in a draw. We also recently had one between Braun Strowman and Kane on RAW a few months ago. There is a chance it could happen but I am not sure. It takes the number 6 spot on our list.
5) Three Stages Of Hell
Something that could be fun is a three stages of hell match. There have only been a handful of these in WWE history. This forces two wrestlers to face off in three different types of matches. For example, Triple H and Shawn Michaels faced off in a street fight, steel cage, and ladder match back in 2002.
This is usually saved for major rivalries. The rivalry between Nakamura and Styles has been heating up as of late and I could see WWE doing this as a way to end the feud.
This could be a lot of fun. I am not sure it will happen though since there will already be a few gimmick matches on the card and it might be overkill. This takes the number 5 spot on our list.
4) I Quit Match
I think that an ‘I Quit’ match has a chance of happening between AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura. For those who don’t know, the match is only won after one of the participants says “I Quit” into the microphone.
With Nakamura saying “no speak English” a lot as of late, I think this could make for a funny moment. Imagine Nakamura being asked by the referee if he quits. Nakamura says “no speak English”. I know that I would laugh.
I think it would also make a bit of sense to settle their feud and could be fun. This takes the number 4 spot on our list as there are many more match types that I would prefer.
