5 Superstars WWE should have included in the SmackDown Elimination Chamber match

#3 Superstar WWE should have included in the SmackDown Elimination Chamber match - Shinsuke Nakamura

Roman and Jey recently attacked Nakamura in order to have Adam Pearce win a gauntlet match.

Shinsuke Nakamura is another big name left off the list of SmackDown Elimination Chamber combatants. The Japanese star enjoyed a face turn in a gauntlet match on SmackDown a few weeks ago. The match was to determine the challenger for Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble. He was the iron man of the bout and it looked like his career was getting back on track after predominantly being in a heel tag team for the last year or so.

The simple fact why Nakamura should have been included in the Elimination Chamber is simple - he was attacked at the end of the gauntlet match on SmackDown by Jey Uso and Roman Reigns. That attack alone should have forced Nakamura to get some revenge on the Tribal Chief for stealing a title shot from his grasp.

Having Nakamura in the Elimination Chamber match would have held continuity with that storyline, but instead, he was battling Big E for the Intercontinental Championship on the latest SmackDown. Did he forget that he was brutally attacked and robbed of a potential shot at the Universal Championship?

By including Nakamura in the Elimination Chamber, it would have provided another potential face challenger and one that has legitimate beef with the current Champion on SmackDown. Since he was excluded, it seems a bit strange to put him into a different angle without addressing his attack at the hands of the Tribal Chief.
