Shinsuke Nakamura
It is only a matter of time before Shinsuke Nakamura is in the WWE Championship picture. Nakamura has been flirting with the main event scene for the most part, but has yet to challenge for the WWE Championship. Perhaps his time is sooner rather than later. Thus enters the possibility of him winning the Royal Rumble.
Fans have been frustrated at the booking of Nakamura since his debut onto the main roster last spring. On the other hand WWE teased fans last summer during Money in the Bank when he and AJ Styles had a staredown in the middle of the ring. It’s not a fact of will it happen, but when? NJPW fans remember the classic both men put on at Wrestle Kingdom 10 back in 2016, just before Styles made the jump to WWE. That fire can definitely rekindle and give SmackDown a great focal point heading into WrestleMania.
If in fact this matchup does happen, WWE fans are in for a treat if the talents aren’t held back. They have been on the main event stage before, and it is a goldmine for WWE if Styles vs. Nakamura are to be on the main event card at WrestleMania. It’s a move WWE won’t regret in which the match has a huge chance to steal the show. Hell, it WILL steal the show if it happens. If you don’t believe me, watch their WrestleKingdom 10 match.
