WWE SmackDown video highlights: Styles teams with Nakamura
AJ Styles teamed with his likely WrestleMania opponent on SmackDown last night as Styles & Shinsuke Nakamura took on Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn in the main event.
Nakamura opened the show before being interrupted by Owens and Zayn. That brought Styles out, with Owens and Zayn saying "nope" to the idea of facing them in a tag match. Daniel Bryan soon made it official, and he announced that Owens and Zayn would be facing each other in a number one contender's match next week.
That match stems from Styles pinning Owens at the Royal Rumble when Owens wasn't the legal man. The winner will challenge Styles at Fastlane in March.
Bryan's announcement caused some dissension between Owens and Zayn. Following the main event, Zayn said their friendship isn't over -- but Owens has gotten his own opportunities and now is Zayn's time.
Carmella tried to capitalize on The Riott Squad laying out Charlotte Flair, but her Money in the Bank cash-in never got started. And a fatal four-way match decided who will be challenging Bobby Roode next week.
