It would be ridiculous not to capitalize on this. This is how you build someone back up.

I'd have Bryan win the Rumble, Nak challenges Roman for the PPV before Mania as they tease the winner that will face Bryan for WM.
If they protect Nak like they did with KO in his loss vs Roman, it will be good for him long-term.

You need more Main Event players on SD.

This sounds good on paper but it would imply WWE to follow some kind of logic and not change their mind about it after a couple of weeks.

I smell Daniel Bryan's influence here, pushing Nakamura to the impressive showing.

 

[LethalWeapon]

They did nothing with him for 3 years. One night of a sympathy performance isn't going to propel him anywhere.

If he is face again, I hope his old theme returns. Cesaro tweeted about revenge or something, that would be cool.

 

[yeahbaby!]

He either gets entered in the title match at the Rumble by whatever fuckery; or he interrupts the rumble match to beat the fuck out of Reigns.

 

[The Wood]

If they want it to. His deal was up in 2019. I wonder if he signed on for two years and they’ve reupped him and know they’ve got him locked down.

 

[Klitschko]

He will probably get a title shot at the ppv after Royal Rumble. Personally I would love it if they built him back up and had a big match with Roman at Wrestlemania, but thats just me.

 

[TeamFlareZakk]

Nakamura better than what they are going with here.. Adam Pierce is just stupid 🙄 and its even worse putting him with that boring jackass

 

[Piehound]

Based on Smackdown tonight I'm gonna say, No. No, it does not go anywhere...

 

[RubberbandGoat]

Bryan just jobbed two weeks in a row now. Nakamura is winning the Rumble. That sucks for Bryan

 

[ThirdMan]

Nakamura is gonna face Reigns in between the Rumble and WrestleMania. Perhaps at Elimination Chamber.

Bryan might still win the Rumble, but it's good that he's putting over undervalued talent, and actually creating more doubt as to who will actually win the thing.

 

[Moonlight_drive]

Good push for Nakamura. I'm all for it.

Bryan just lost to cesaro. I doubt he will win the Rumble.

 

[Asuka842]

A great Nakamura redemption arc would be awesome. Plus he’d be the first truly Japanese WWE Champion as well.

It wouldn’t even have to be a long reign imo. Just let him win it.

 

[Geraldoderivera]

Nakamura can be very charismatic and is already great in ring ans have a unique look for WWE

And no , i dont give two shits what your personal definition of charisma , being over is being charismatic, end of discussion

 

[The One]

Nakamura's has always been great apart from speaking English,I don't know why some people think he sucks.
He is charismatic

His English sucks it doesn't matter if I can't understand him.

 

[The Definition of Technician]

Bryan just lost to cesaro. I doubt he will win the Rumble.

They could be throwing us a swerve or Bryan has made it clear for them that he's leaving once his contract ends this summer and they're squeezing any last bit of star power out of him.

 

[justin waynes]

His English sucks it doesn't matter if I can't understand him.

He is not there to speak English even though it is important but for someone who sucks in speaking English ,I think shinsuke is not all that bad all round.

That gives your opinion credibility but I've read somewhere on here that he's happy to just get a paycheck regardless of his booking. Look like he lack that passion and fire to be truly great.

We can't tell. Maybe he knows Vince don't give a dime about him but still keeps ilhim in his company so he decided to be like "why the stress"

That explains the lack of effort in his match at WM 34 then lol.
