After having a splendid run as NXT Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura was finally called up to the main roster.
Everything looked good for the ‘King of Strong Style’ and fans were jubilant as he won the Men’s Royal Rumble Match. However, he failed to win the belt from AJ Styles and turned heel.
Ever since then Nakamura has been stuck in the mid cards and his highest point of the year came when he won the United States Championship. Nakamura is a larger than life gimmick who possess the ability to draw in huge crowds.
Instead, WWE have relegated his United States Championship match to the pre-show at the Royal Rumble PPV.
Maybe his mic skills are what’s holding him back from breaking out in WWE. He is unable to cut promos with fluency due to his poor English skills.
But why did WWE bring him all the way from NJPW to the WWE when they knew he couldn’t speak proper English. It just doesn’t make sense.
Considering how big of a star he is in the indies, Nakamura must be wishing he could just leave the WWE and go wrestle for AEW.
AEW will probably focus more on the wrestling rather than the promos and segments, and we all know just how good a wrestler Nakamura is.
