#4: Shinsuke Nakamura

Hopefully he gets his due next year

The King of Strong Style debuted on Smackdown Live in April and has since then become "The Artist Known as Shinsuke Nakamura". He has become the "resident rockstar" rather than being the charismatic destroyer he was back in NXT.

Once again, he is a superstar who has pinned John Cena and Randy Orton clean as a whistle, but is still to find his stride on the main roster. A dull rivalry with the King of Dull Rivalries, Dolph Ziggler, followed by feuds with Baron Corbin and Jinder Mahal haven't helped Nakamura achieve the star status he deserves.

A WWE Hall of Famer isn't a John Cena fan. More details HERE

In a classic case of booking being bad, Nakamura is currently without any real rivalries since October. For two months he has been relegated to pointless tag matches week-in, week-out. 2018 could be the year when we see Styles vs Nakamura again, so lets hope for the best .
