Shinsuke Nakamura's first outing in WWE was also his best one by a pretty fair margin against Sami Zayn. I think it's fair to say that the two men put on one of the best NXT matches in the brand's history.
Nakamura would move on to the main roster where he's held gold in the past and still does so but has suffered because of his inability to speak the English language fluently. But now, with Sami Zayn by his side, the duo can become quite an entertaining pair.

Sami Zayn has been languishing in the lower mid-card and was even eliminated from the first round of the King of the Ring tournament on RAW this week. This could be a new beginning for both individuals concerned as they claw their way back to the top again.
Maybe Zayn turns on Nakamura down the line and elevates the Intercontinental Championship in the process.
