#2 Best: Heel Nakamura

Dare we say he's better now than during his entire face run
Shinsuke Nakamura disrupts matches just when they are about to get interesting. And that is great booking from WWE. How else can one get the audience to boo someone so charismatic and so very gifted in the ring? The low blow is also a great touch.

Corey Graves on Shinsuke Nakamura: "What a tragedy! Could you imagine forgetting an entire language?"
As is the 'no speak English' line. Nakamura has a passable knowledge of English and the audience knows this. By saying the line like he does, Nakamura is insulting their intelligence and how!
We're far more interested in seeing an AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura rematch now that there's actual heat between the two. It's far more interesting than a babyface vs. babyface contest.
