Even though Shinsuke Nakamura is currently a reigning and defending Champion, it somehow seems like he's not as much in the spotlight as he should ideally be at this point in time. The fact of the matter is that the man needs a prominent feud to be back in the limelight once again and this can be achieved by taking on a monstrous opponent.
It's very weird that someone like Braun Strowman is on the roster but he is not actively feuding with anyone at all right now. Instead of him mixing it up with enhancement talent at the bottom of the roster (I mean it gets a pop from the live crowd, but it does little for Strowman's career), I think he could certainly enter into a feud with someone like Nakamura.

It is a fresh feud and while Strowman may seem like the clear favorite to win, keep in mind that Shinsuke Nakamura will have Sami Zayn by his side to even the numbers as well. And so, all said and done, it may be the best feud for both of the men involved.
And I daresay that Braun Strowman needs the Intercontinental Championship right now.
