#4 Shinsuke Nakamura is the new King of WWE
If WWE opted to have Karrion Kross face Shinsuke Nakamura, it would be an interesting feud on a few fronts. Kross and Nakamura are both noted strikers, meaning that it wouldn't be as easy to squash the King of Strong Style.
Nakamura is also an eccentric superstar as he has recently become embroiled in a feud with Baron Corbin over a crown. The King of Strong Style won that crown but it doesn't carry the same weight as holding a title. WWE will say otherwise, but not much has happened for Corbin since winning the last King of the Ring tournament.
Kross battling Nakamura would be a decent mid-card feud. Some stars are tested in the mid-card before they are given a shot at the main event. Depending on their feelings toward Kross, he may start with an appetizer opponent before moving on to bigger prey.
Since he has recently been flanked by Ric Boogs, Boogs could also be used in the angle. Attacking the axeman for Nakamura would give Kross two people to brutalize. Kross could also claim that Nakamura is simply not the king of anything, especially since Doomsday comes for everyone.
A lot depends on where WWE management wants Kross to start his main roster career. If he needs a few tune-up feuds in the mid-card, one could be with Nakamura.
It's also not known which brand of WWE Kross will join, so stars on both RAW and SmackDown should be wary. Another factor to consider is whether he will have Scarlett by his side. She is a huge part of his act and a proxy of sorts when he doesn't appear.
The two have appeared in dark matches separately over the last few weeks, with Scarlett showing up before the latest episode of SmackDown. Things will also change in the WWE Draft following SummerSlam. Nakamura may be the new King of WWE, but will it matter in a few months?
When Karrion Kross joins the main roster, RAW or SmackDown will be getting an intriguing new addition. His character is unique, especially if he is allowed to maintain a lot of what worked for his character in NXT. WWE desperately needs some new and different stars and Kross has been that in NXT.
