Nakamura is another one that I never saw coming. With the amount of success he was enjoying in Japan, I always thought he would finish his career at home. However, since arriving in the States, Shinsuke Nakamura has been incredible. Not only has he adapted to the "WWE way" with ease, but he's gotten even better as an all around performer.
As NXT Champion, Nakamura has continued to showcase how great the yellow brand truly is and has even helped some of the other lesser known talent get some much-needed attention as well.
Nakamura is someone who doesn't need any polishing, nor any development. All he needs is an opportunity and I have a strong feeling that once NXT develops one or two more rookies, Shinsuke Nakamura is headed for tremendous success, on the main roster.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
