#3. The reason why WWE doesn't want Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura to have solo runs

Sami Zayn being stripped of the Intercontinental title has not only affected WWE's plans for the Championship but also the current storyline direction for Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura.

With the leader of The Artist Collective out of the picture, there was an opportunity for WWE to push Cesaro and Nakamura as singles Superstars. However, WWE isn't too high on the idea.

It was revealed by Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue on the latest edition of the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast that the general belief backstage is that the Swiss Superman and the King of Strong Style don't have the right amount of charisma to stand out as solo performers.

That could be the reason why WWE has temporarily paired the duo with King Corbin, who has seemingly taken up the role of leading Cesaro and Nakamura in Sami Zayn's absence.

Well at the moment they have been immediately paired up with Baron Corbin, which will at least give them someone new to lead them. The WWE, unfortunately, have the general belief that neither of them nor Cesaro or Nakamura have the right amount of charisma to be in a solo position or have a leadership role. With everything they are rewriting around Sami Zayn they need someone else to talk for them, so, for now, they have paired them up with Corbin, after that, it's really hard to see.
