In case you didn’t know…
Nakamura and Styles resumed their feud from New Japan Pro-Wrestling earlier this year at WrestleMania 34. The match leads to Nakamura’s heel turn and extended their feud to the Money in the Bank pay-per-view in June.
The heart of the matter
WWE posted the following regarding the upcoming match:
Despite receiving another match against the WWE Champion, this match won’t have any implications for Extreme Rules due to new opponents being named for the two former NJPW talents.
Nakamura was supposed to wrestle on the July 3 episode of SmackDown but was bitten by a police dog from the Bakersfield Police Department Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) Team prior to a live event on Monday, July 2.
What’s next?
Most fans would’ve assumed the Money in the Bank match would’ve been the end of their feud, but WWE made the decision to return to the feud a lot earlier than expected. Hopefully, their next bout will be better than the majority of their matches in WWE.
