SmackDown Live after Extreme Rules: 3 things WWE needs to do

#2 Determine Shinsuke Nakamura's next challenger

Nakamura is a champion again

For some really strange reason, WWE can seemingly only deal with one midcard title at a time. When Seth Rollins was tearing it up as Intercontinental Champion last year, Shinsuke Nakamura was doing a whole lot of nothing as the United States Champion. Now that WWE is focusing on the United States Championship, the Intercontinental Championship has been all but forgotten.

In a perfect world we wouldn't have such problems, but as some of you have so astutely noted, this is not a perfect world. WWE did Nakamura dirty last time when he was the US Champion. Hopefully they can learn from their mistakes.

Former champion Finn Balor decided to get attacked by Bray Wyatt on RAW in the last episode, so let's rule him out. WWE could book a multi-man match to determine the new contender.

Heck, they could have a Championship Scramble match on SmackDown if they were inclined to do so. At this point, I'd take an Intercontinental Championship on a Pole match against Zack Ryder.

At worst, just have Shinsuke do his usual entrance to the ring with a mic in hand. He enters, crowd eagerly awaiting what he has to say. He then says "Finn Balor, you stink more than the stinkiest cheese in Europe," and then leaves.

That'd be lame, but it'd be something. Or anything. Just don't forget about the Intercontinental Champion anymore.
