Nakamura's heel turn, as we all know, hasn't turned out to be great for him. WWE did everything in their power to make sure fans boo him, but it backfired as people stopped giving any reaction to him. They even removed his theme song which was so popular (I personally loved it).

After turning heel, he continued to challenge AJ Styles unsuccessfully for the title many times.

This ultimately degraded his value as a legitimate top star. He was booked as a heel who even after all his antics, couldn't win the championship.

Had he turned heel and won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 34, we would have got a refreshing heel champion who possesses great in-ring abilities.

Booking Nakamura as a dominating champion who wants to protect his title would have been a better option. He could have had interesting feuds with Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio, only this time, he would be booked as a dominating champion.
