Roman Reigns — Did the "Big Dog" not have a good year

#6 Shinsuke Nakamura

Within four months of his NXT debut, Nakamura captured the brand’s top title. However, his reign was short-lived. He left NXT as a two-time NXT Champion. The King of Strong Style debuted on April 4th episode of Smackdown Live interrupting The Miz and Maryse.

Nakamura then feuded with Dolph Ziggler. His biggest win came on August 1st episode when Nakamura defeated John Cena to earn himself a number one contender match for the WWE Championship. Since then, Nakamura has earned himself two WWE Championship matches. Though he lost both those matches to Jinder Mahal, Nakamura still remains one of the top babyfaces in the company.

Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
