5 booking options for a heel Shinsuke Nakamura after WrestleMania 34

#2 Shinsuke Nakamura aligns with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn

The duo are currently without WWE contracts

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn’s futures in WWE are in limbo after they were defeated by Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 34, meaning they didn't win back their jobs on SmackDown Live, and then they failed to earn Raw contracts in a singles match the night after 'Mania.

Assuming they are either drafted to Raw or reinstated to SmackDown by a new management team in next week's Superstar Shake-Up, Owens and Zayn will need to get back on track post-WrestleMania after coming up short in each of the last three PPVs.

WWE could do a lot worse than have them recruit Shinsuke Nakamura, forming a villainous faction to feud with the likes of the Balor Club and, when Dean Ambrose returns, even The Shield.
