Nakamura will need to prove himself this weekend at Clash of Champions
The artist known as Shinsuke Nakamura has been knocked out of the title picture in recent months, so much so that he is now relegated to aligning himself with Randy Orton to face the team of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn with Shane McMahon as the special guest referee at Clash of Champions.

Nakamura came up to the SmackDown brand following John Cena's departure after WrestleMania back in April and was billed as the next big star on the brand, but it seems that the fire that his debut gave to the brand has since burned out. Nakamura is another star who hasn't won on pay-per-view since Battleground back in July when he was able to defeat Baron Corbin via disqualification.

Since then Nakamura has lost back to back matches to Jinder Mahal at SummerSlam and Hell in a Cell and was one of the first men eliminated from the traditional Survivor Series match at the pay-per-view of the same name last month which has now left him in the position where he isn't even in a title match this weekend.
