5 Potential opponents for Shinsuke Nakamura after the Superstar Shakeup

#4 Randy Orton

An interesting match up

Another interesting option for Shinsuke Nakamura would be to pit him against Smackdown Live's resident Viper, Randy Orton. A feud with Orton is pretty much a sure-fire way of inserting somebody into the upper mid card and possibly even into the main event scene if done right.

If Orton does drop the title to Bray Wyatt, then it would make a lot of sense for these two guys to go at it and allow Nakamura to make an instant impact with a high profile feud. Winning against Orton ensures he doesn't fade like a number of the NXT guys have.

The only concern with this one is whether the differing styles between the two might make for a dull showing. Orton is very similar to Bobby Roode in how he works and The Glorious One had a pretty average feud with The King of Strong Style before Nakamura moved onto the main roster.
