While he wasn't on the WWE main roster at the start of the second brand split in 2016, Shinsuke Nakamura has been a part of SmackDown for over three years now. He made his debut two nights after WrestleMania 33 and has been a constant presence on the show.

Nakamura may have lost a lot of his star power over the years, but he is still one of the most charismatic Superstars on the Blue brand. He has also accomplished a fair amount, winning multiple titles. However, Nakamura failed to win the WWE Championship from AJ Styles during their 2018 feud.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

The former NXT Champion has been a solid part of the mid-card since then, winning the United States Championship at Extreme Rules 2018 and the Intercontinental Championship one year later. Nakamura won another title at the pay-per-view, teaming with Cesaro to win the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at Extreme Rules this July.

Cesaro and Nakamura are still the Tag Team Champions, although they have run out of teams to feud with on SmackDown. Hopefully, this is rectified during the upcoming WWE Draft.
