#2 Shinsuke Nakamura

If there is one man in the WWE that is in desperate need of a star-making performance it is 'The Artist' known as Shinsuke Nakamura.
Having so much hype around Nakamura has not really helped and to say his run so far has been underwhelming would be a huge understatement. He has had disappointing showings against Ziggler, Mahal and Baron Corbin to name a few, all people that are capable of putting on good matches.
Despite all of this the powers that be will still want Nakamura to come across as main event calibre. There would be no better way to do this than to have him enter at Number One and use his strong style to run riot over the roster and punch a ticket to Wrestlemania to face A.J Styles in a match that could change his career for the better. Even if he doesn't win the match, it is paramount he is in the last 2.
