5 Opponents We Want to See Shinsuke Nakamura Face on the WWE’s Main Roster

#5 Cesaro

Nakamura vs Cesaro – A Debut Match?

Cesaro is one of the most underutilised superstars on the roster, with an incredible in-ring moveset and a natural connection with the crowd. But, he is an upper midcard face, not a heel main eventer that Shinsuke should be facing, so I don’t see Cesaro vs Nakamura happening on anything other than an episode of Raw.

That doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be a sight to see. I wouldn’t have any problem with Nakamura’s debut match on the main roster being against Cesaro on Raw, as it would be brilliant. Given ample time the two would create magic, and the crowd would be incredibly hot like when Nakamura faced Sami Zayn at Takeover Dallas.

Hopefully, a similar atmosphere to that bout would be created here, and an exchange of uppercuts by Cesaro and forearms by Nakamura would be incredible. Obviously, this wouldn’t lead to a feud, but would rather serve as a match to show fans who aren’t familiar with the King of Strong Style, what he is capable of doing in that ring.
