You — Vince McMahon has made the phrase "you're fired!" part of the WWE lexicon

#4 Shinsuke Nakamura

From C — Nakamura's WWE campaign hasn't been as stellar as one may have expected.

This one may come as a shock to you, but despite your “marking out” for Shinsuke Nakamura, he hasn’t totally lit up the WWE Universe since arriving from the NXT brand in April 2017.

A strange initial push presented Shinsuke with not one, but TWO WWE Championship opportunities at both Summerslam and Hell in a Cell where he was able to challenge the perennial fan-punching bag that is Jinder Mahal, all within his first 6 months in the business!

After losing both WWE Championship contests in lacklustre fashion to the “Modern Day Maharaja,” Nakamura has largely become an afterthought on Smackdown Live programming and on pay per view contests, teaming up more often with Randy Orton is a perplexing tag team than any WWE fan would care to see.

Some strange booking patterns and a contract that is coming towards expiration has us asking, why would Nakamura want to stay anyway?
