1. Shinsuke Nakamura
Yes, my number one pick for a current wrestler deserving of a world championship is still in NXT. But, he really shouldn’t be in NXT. Shinsuke Nakamura, like AJ Styles and Samoa Joe, wrestled for years in other promotions (especially in Japan) before coming to the WWE. Now that he is finally in the WWE, he is 36 years of age. Yet, he is still in NXT.
Although he has been very successful in NXT and is the current NXT champion, Nakamura should have debuted straight to the main roster, with a number of dream matches finally being on the cusp of coming to reality (Nakamura vs Rollins?). Despite the time being wasted in NXT, Nakamura still has time to become a world champion, and is the most deserving of a world title reign among those in the WWE today.
