40 years from now when Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles are long retired from pro wrestling, The King of Strong Style will still be hitting The Phenomenal One with a variety of nut shots. Tonight (Apr. 24) on SmackDown, not only did Nakamura hit Styles below the belt, he hit him in the heart.
Booked in a six man tag team main event, Nakamura teamed with Rusev and Aiden English while Styles reunited with Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows. After Nakamura laid Gallows out with Kinshasa to the back of the head for the win, the real fun began.
As Nakamura was celebrating his victory, Styles tried to jump him from behind and almost immediately regretted his decision.

Nakamura put down the WWE World Champion with a perfectly timed strike to the groin and then made Styles watch as he beat the hell out of Anderson.
