#4. King Nakamura has the caliber of putting on a great match against Roman Reigns

King Nakamura is the only name on this list that was already on SmackDown before the draft. However, he hasn't challenged Roman Reigns for the Universal Title yet. WWE may finally start the former NXT Champion's main event push by letting him challenge the Tribal Chief.

With a hypeman like Rick Boogs by his side, The Artist can now quickly increase his relevancy. Ever since turning babyface, he has received constant support from fans as well.

The King of Strong Style is currently the Intercontinental Champion as well as the King of the Ring. As WWE is set to have an official King of the Ring tournament, Nakamura may lose his crown soon.

Once this gimmick is over, he can move to the main event division and challenge Roman Reigns while Sami Zayn can replace him as the Intercontinental Champion.

One thing's for sure - whenever this match happens, the crowd will offer huge pops, and the battle will not disappoint. With the correct booking, Nakamura can dethrone Roman Reigns as the Universal Champion.
