#3 SmackDown Superstar Shinsuke Nakamura's future
SmackDown star Shinsuke Nakamura is not only a former United States Champion and Intercontinental Champion but is also one of the select few WWE Superstars to have won the Royal Rumble. A recent report has revealed that The Artist's new role in WWE going forward will be to help establish new stars.
After Shinsuke Nakamura's impressive performance in a gauntlet match on SmackDown a few weeks back and his split from tag-team partner Cesaro, many believed that the Japanese Superstar was in for a big push. However, that has not happened and it looks like WWE's plan for Nakamura is to make him an enhancement talent on SmackDown.
Cageside Seats have reported that as per WON, the current plan is for Shinsuke Nakamura to build new stars. He will be taking on a role similar to Daniel Bryan where WWE will use his experience and credibility to help get other Superstars over.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter says Shinsuke Nakamura has been told his role going forward is to make new stars.
Shinsuke Nakamura had been part of a tag team with Cesaro over the past few months. The two men have disbanded the team for now and are focusing on their singles careers. While Cesaro seems to be in the midst of a push, the same cannot be said for the former Royal Rumble winner.
Although Nakamura may not be getting the main event push, WWE has shown tremendous faith in the veteran by assigning him the task of helping younger stars shine and reach their potential in WWE.
Shinsuke Nakamura has had some stellar matches in the company and all over the world, and will surely be an asset when it comes to helping new talent look good inside the ring.
