5 champions WWE fans would like to see in the next year

#2 Shinsuke Nakamura

Shinsuke Nakamura is wildly popular after his run in NXT

Shinsuke Nakamura is something of an enigma in the WWE. Perhaps no other superstar has been able to command the attention of the NXT and WWE fanbases right out of the gate like Nakamura has. Even his theme song is loved by crowds across the world.

His popularity merits a belt on the “King of Strong Style,” and they literally can’t do one soon enough. The perfect spot for him would be to be the man to take the United States championship off AJ Styles later this year after Styles comes out on top in a feud with current champ Kevin Owens.

A title feud with Owens would also be good, and the three of them working feuds for a historically significant belt for the next several months could be fantastic.
