#1 Nakamura could beat Kofi Kingston
The WWE Champion, Kofi Kingston, and Nakamura will square off in a non-title match on SmackDown Live this week. Kevin Owens, Xavier Woods, and Kofi Kingston took on the team of Cesaro, Nakamura, and Rusev last week. Owens, who is a new member of New Day, pinned Rusev to win the six-man tag team match last week.
Judging by the scenario last week, Vince McMahon's billion dollar company might continue the rivalry. Since Nakamura will face Kofi in a one-on-one bout, we might see a surprise this week. Nakamura might pin the current WWE Champion to make a strong statement.
Nakamura, who is immensely talented, has not been utilized on the main roster. Although he had a promising start after arriving on the main roster, his run has been substandard in the last one year.
Therefore, it could be a perfect opportunity to rejuvenate the King of Strong Style. A victory against the WWE Champion could give him notable momentum, and he could become the next challenger of Kofi. However, a clean loss could hamper Kofi, and we might expect a distraction if Nakamura pins Kofi this week.
