5 WWE Superstars who could be the next Paul Heyman Guy

#4 Shinsuke Nakamura

There’s no getting away from it: Shinsuke Nakamura’s booking on the main roster has been dreadful. From his matches with Dolph Ziggler and Baron Corbin to his WWE title feud with Jinder Mahal, his main-roster run since April hasn’t lived up to expectations.

His matches haven’t been terrible – saying that, they were better in NXT – but the storylines surrounding his feuds and the opponents he’s faced have been so underwhelming compared to what we saw from him before he was called up to SmackDown Live.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

The fact that he speaks limited English obviously hasn’t helped him from a promo perspective and it’s reached a point where he’ll now say one or two words at the end of an interview instead of talking for a prolonged length of time.

While other names on this list wouldn’t necessarily need Paul Heyman as their permanent mouthpiece, Nakamura would. Heyman, one of the greatest of all time on the mic, could talk the talk outside the ring while “The King of Strong Style” walks the walk inside of it.
