5 Potential opponents for Shinsuke Nakamura after the Superstar Shakeup

#3 Baron Corbin

Corbin needs an opponent now that Ambrose is on Raw

This is an interesting one because, before the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Baron Corbin would never have been an option. Corbin seemed sealed into a feud with Dean Ambrose for the WWE Intercontinental Championship but with The Lunatic Fringe moving away to Raw, the possibilities open up.

Regardless of whether Corbin picks up the title from Ambrose and brings it back to SmackDown or not, this is a feud that would make a lot of sense for both parties. The Lone Wolf gets the rub of competing against one of the most well-respected wrestlers in the world today, while Nakamura has a solid opponent that he can use as a propeller into the main event scene.

Considering how impressive Corbin has looked this past year, this might also be the right feud to help him elevate his game to the elite level. It would also be easier for Nakamura to work with someone like the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner than Randy Orton.
