Predicting the last 8 Spots in the 2017 Royal Rumble Match

#2 Shinsuke Nakamura

Can the King of Strong Style make his long-awaited debut on the main roster?

Wrestling fans were hoping that New Japan Pro Wrestling superstar Kenny Omega would possibly get out of his contract earlier and make his debut in the Royal Rumble this Sunday.

Omega has said that he plans to stay with NJPW for at least another year so seeing The Cleaner in the Rumble may be out of the question. However, fans would be delighted to see the King of Strong Style make his debut in the Royal Rumble match instead.

Nakamura has been the foundation for NXT ever since Sami Zayn and Finn Bálor got called up. With rumours of the WWE seeking more talent to fill that void like Chris Hero and others, Nakamura wouldn’t be needed as much in NXT like he was this past year.

Even Austin Aries, who is currently injured, may return to NXT before debuting in the Cruiserweight Division on Raw, so the void will likely be filled in the foreseeable future.

Nakamura is a two-time NXT Champion and will probably leave the brand as soon as he drops the championship or he could pull a Kevin Owens and show up with the championship anyway.

There are a lot of possibilities if Nakamura wrestles in the Rumble match and fans would be elated to hear those notes from the violin as The King of Strong Style debuts on the main roster.
