WWE WrestleMania 33: 7 Predictions That Won’t Come True

5. Shinsuke Nakamura Debuts

Shinsuke Nakamura is ready for the WWE main roster. He has accomplished just about everything possible in NXT, and could serve a quality presence on either weekly cable TV show.

Nakamura could arrive the night after WrestleMania 33. He’d provide the latest special moment to happen on the post-Raw or SmackDown and be in front of a red-hot crowd in Orlando, FL, which will surely be MarkaMania.

This is a better option to do than a WrestleMania debut, where like Asuka, there’s the possibility he’s lost in the shuffle. That goes for winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, too. It’s a match with 20 Superstars, most of whom are on the bottom of the card or well past their primes. To throw him in the mix would be strange and slide him in with the lowest part of the roster. Throw in Nakamura not getting an entrance in the battle royal, and it takes away the potential crowd reaction to him showing up.

The King of Strong Style can be thrown into the mix as a surprise run-in during another match, but would that make much sense? It has the chance of making the moment feel like we’re in an episode of Raw.

Don’t expect Nakamura to arrive on the main roster at WrestleMania 33; maybe after the show, but what about NXT?
