Can you imagine the "Modern Day Maharaja" as the next WWE Champion?
#2 Shinsuke Nakamura (SDL)
The Rockstar
Shinsuke Nakamura was a huge deal in NJPW. He faced Brock Lesnar and AJ Styles in NJPW. Nakamura has the potential to win the Royal Rumble in Philadelphia and ultimately face "The Phenomenal One" AJ Styles. If this match does take place, I'm confident that it might be the best match of the night. AJ and Nakamura have faced each other at NJPW in 2015 and it was an awesome match (Go watch it, it's really good).
Nakamura raising his hands as the WWE Champion might happen at WrestleMania. 2018 might just be the year when the Rockstar of WWE becomes the WWE Champion.
