#1 Nakamura should be a future world title holder
Trending
Nakamura arrived in NXT with a rocket strapped to his back. His first match was a showstopper against Sami Zayn, and things only got better for him from there.
He went on to become a two-time NXT champion and, as we said before, carry the brand for several months through his feud with Samoa Joe. Combine that with his success overseas, and you have what looks to be an inevitable future world champion in WWE.
So how do you kick off the career of a future world champion? You promote him, make him feel important, and then you give him a signature victory to prove that he’s legitimate. That last part is unfortunately not in the cards right now.
A win over Ziggler is not a signature victory. But that means beating him in decisive fashion is that much more important. If part of establishing a superstar is defeating a brand’s top stars, then that guy certainly better beat the people who are lower on the totem pole.
Nakamura is destined to face off with the likes of AJ Styles and John Cena on some of WWE’s biggest stages. With a future like that, Nakamura needs to get started the right way; by winning a match against someone who may be out of the company in the not too distant future.
