Nakamura was another superstar that arrived on Smackdown Live with huge expectations. The entire wrestling world expected him to be the biggest star of the brand, and there was a chance for that to happen during Nakamura's feud with AJ Styles after he had turned heel, but it just wasn't meant to be.

The King of Strong Style is now known as The Artist, and despite being a former US Champion and the 2017 Royal Rumble winner, Nakamura has had a very boring run on Smackdown Live. His promos have been decent but his matches haven't been the best, possibly due to the fact that he has had to tone down his style.

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

The Artist has had matches with every possible babyface on Smackdown Live, from AJ Styles to Jeff Hardy to Rusev. Putting him on Raw could be the switch that is needed, as the potential for Nakamura is so high. You could have Nakamura rekindle his rivalry with Seth Rollins, as the two men had put on a fantastic match at Survivor Series 2018 in an inter-brand match.

There is also potential in Nakamura to turn babyface again with the aggression of a heel and go up against the likes of Brock Lesnar, Dean Ambrose, and Drew McIntyre. These are all matches that we have never seen before but they sound very exciting, so drafting Nakamura to Raw could be the perfect way to rejuvenate his character.
