5 WWE stars who desperately need a win at Survivor Series

#4 Shinsuke Nakamura

Shinsuke Nakamura

It's hard to believe that Shinsuke Nakamura currently holds one of the most prestigious titles in WWE, considering he rarely defends it. Nakamura, the current Intercontinental Champion, will do battle at Survivor Series in a Triple Threat match, pitting Nakamura against United States Champion AJ Styles, and NXT North American Champion Roderick Strong.

The bout will see Nakamura face-off against his former WrestleMania opponent AJ Styles, this time with the addition of another excellent in-ring wrestler in Roderick Strong. While many NXT fans would surely like to see Strong pick up the win over two great main roster competitors, Shinsuke Nakamura needs a big PPV victory more than Styles and Strong.

Styles is consistently booked well on WWE TV, and Roderick Strong has great momentum on NXT TV carrying the North American title and representing Undisputed Era, but Shinsuke Nakamura has been lost in the main roster shuffle for so long that a win over the likes of Styles and Strong could really give him and the IC title a very needed boost. The bout can be booked as follows: Nakamura wins in cheap fashion, keeping Styles and Strong looking solid despite a loss, and helping Nakamura in the long run.
