WWE SmackDown: 5 big backstage rumors that could have a major impact - Superstar upset with controversial LGBT angle, Former World Champion to leave (3rd January 2020)

#2 Shinsuke Nakamura to move to NXT

It has been reported that NXT will be a part of the upcoming Superstar Shakeup in April. Not only will NXT Superstars get a call-up to the 'main roster', but some RAW and SmackDown stars may be heading to Wednesday nights.

One of the names that have a high chance of moving back to NXT as per SportsKeeda's Tom Colohue is Shinsuke Nakamura. The current Intercontinental Champion is part of a faction along with Sami Zayn and Cesaro. So we can expect the group to split up soon.

With regards to NXT, Sami Zayn is still the favourite name I’m hearing, but there is a lot of discussion about that, so I can say for certain. Sami Zayn is the one I’m hearing the most as I’ve mentioned in the Sportskeeda podcast as well as potentially someone like Nakamura. There is a level of people they are interested in bringing back to NXT, people who have been there before, people who have a lot to add, the Samoa Joes, that sort of level. Those are the people they want working and I would quite enjoy seeing Samoa Joe vs. Adam Cole.
