#4 Face Turn - Shinsuke Nakamura

Is a face Nakamura not worthy to win a title?
Is a face Nakamura not worthy to win a title?

Nakamura is a performer that despite his limited English skills, can still wonderfully pull off being either a heel or a face. While he has been a heel since hitting AJ Styles with a low blow after their WrestleMania match, he has accumulated reigns as both the United States and the Intercontinental Champion.

A good deal of the crowd still cheers for him regardless of what he does. He just has that type of unspoken charisma that several stars like Bobby Lashley and Crews lack. The partnership he had with Rusev earlier in the year was strange as they teamed up after he almost hurt Lana.

Since that partnership is over, things on SmackDown need to change from top to bottom once the show moves to Fox. A face Nakamura would give the crowd another top star to get behind, especially once Kofi Kingston drops his title. Whoever takes it from Kingston will need face challengers, and outside of Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens, there aren't many main-event type stars who could challenge for the title right away. Nakamura could.
