In a matter of weeks, Shinsuke Nakamura has already established himself as possibly the hottest heel in the company. His physical charisma is far better suited to this role than he was as a babyface. He even changed his entrance music so that fans couldn't sing along with it.

Of course, we saw a low blow last night, and the "Nutcracker Nakamura" meme got further ammunition. The atmosphere between him and AJ Styles felt intensely personal as well.

Something about Shinsuke Nakamura wasn't entirely clicking as a babyface. As a heel, it's an entirely different story, and he's been hotter in these two weeks than at any point since coming to WWE, including his NXT run.

Hopefully, this feud will still go longer yet.
