WWE needs to push KUSHIDA ahead
WWE needs to push KUSHIDA ahead

The New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) veteran joined WWE in early 2019 and got into an intense rivalry with WALTER, but he wasn’t able to defeat the biggest man of NXT UK.

Since then, we’ve seen KUSHIDA get some good matches against top Superstars, but he hasn’t been able to get through quite as much as fans would have liked.

The Time Splitter has been having a tough time getting some rivalries going on NXT and he hasn’t gotten many wins under his belt, which has affected his value and image on the Black and Gold brand.

WWE could move KUSHIDA to RAW to give him a fresh start and give him a better run in the mid-card of the brand where he can truly shine as a babyface. We could watch KUSHIDA team up with another babyface such as Ricochet or Kevin Owens, and we could get to watch the Time Splitter perform to the best of his abilities on the Red brand.

Watching KUSHIDA go up against men like AJ Styles and Seth Rollins will be a dream come true as he has already delivered a five-star match in NJPW against Will Ospreay!
