Shinsuke Nakamura was a huge addition to SmackDown Live

Real Name: Nakamura Shinsuke (Japanese puts the family name first.)

Height and Weight: 6'2" 229 lbs

Where he wrestles now: Smackdown Live.

Where he might find more success: All Elite Wrestling

Shinsuke Nakamura was the most surprising signing of WWE's history when he joined the NXT brand back in 2016. After all, he spoke little English and while he was a huge international star many WWE fans had never heard of him.

However, he would go on to being the most popular NXT champion of that promotion's history. His momentum continued on the main roster until an inexplicable heel turn shoved him firmly into the mid-card doldrums.

Why he might be more successful in All Elite Wrestling: Shinsuke is well known to the Elite, and to their fans. He is a perfect fit for AEW's particular brand of Sports Entertainment.
