The last PPV that Nakamura defended his title on was Summerslam. He was one of the many superstars to get shafted at Hell in a Cell, and now he might not even appear at Super Show-Down.

This is the result of a much larger issue: Nakamura has no proper feud. He gets involved in other feuds (Rusev v. English, Hardy v. Orton), but he doesn't have that one feud to call his own. He's like that guy you know who travels from friend group to friend group but doesn't have his own set of buddies.

I get that not everyone can be on every PPV all the time, but a champion should not be treated like this. Even if there's no space for him on the card, at least give him a proper program on TV.
