I have been seeing a lot of negative comments from Nakamura fans as of late. These comments aren't directed at Shinsuke himself at all tho. Most of said comments are aimed at the direction WWE has taken Shinsuke in his time with the company. Honestly, Shinsuke is actually having a pretty good run in his WWE career so far and in this article I'm going explain why I think these certain fans tend to think he's being underutilized. But in actuality hes being used very well given the current landscape in WWE. To be able to explain and argue my case that he isn't being underutilized. I need to go over a most of his career in WWE. I'm not going to literally cover every match, feud, and story line he's had since being with WWE. But I am going to cover his most notable matches, & accomplishments thus far with the company to help validate my opinion and I'm also gonna compare his time in WWE with other wrestlers that I feel are on his level. Honestly, this article is gonna be very factual like I try for all my articles to be. But its gonna be a very opinionated article to. So yes, we could argue about this subject for hours, perhaps days. Just to be honest tho I do love to debate wrestling as much as the next guy but that is not the purpose in writing this article. I'm writing this article to just give my opinion to a side of the situation that a lot of people are overlooking. With that being said lets get into it.
While in NXT Nakamura would defeat top wrestlers such as
Tye Dillinger, Austin Aries, Finn Balor, & Samoa Joe twice for 2 different NXT Title reigns,
one lasting a 3 month span and the other reign about a month long.
Shinsuke would debut on the mian roster for the Smackdown brand.
Since being on the Show he has faced some of WWEs top Veterans from Defeating
Dolph Ziggler in debut match, John Cena, & Randy Orton in separate #1 Contenders Matches. Hes competed in a Money in the Bank match, and He won the 2018 Royal Rumble.
Hes competed in 8 WWE Championship Matches 2 against Jinder Mahal and 6 against AJ Styles and having a close to a 6 month long feud with Styles.
He won the United States Championship from Jeff Hardy at WWE Extreme Rules 2018 and has successfully defending it in rematch against Hardy and in a match against Rusev. Hes still currently the US Champion and most recency faced the legend Rey Mysterio in
Mysterio's return match.
So in just a little over 2 years with the company. Has completed in 8 WWE Title matches and co main evented Wrestlemania. Won a Royal Rumble, Been a 2 time NXT Champion and 1 time US Champion and the current US Champion.
In the little amount time Shinsuke has been in the WWE he's done really well and honestly I see him as a World Champion one day once the time is right. The big point tried to make that hes accomplished a good amount and to me ieing wasted atl all. Hes accomplished more then bothFinn Balor and Samoa Joe who have been on the roster around the same amount of time and has about the same skill level and popularity as either one of them.
Hes accomplished more then some of wrestlers thats been on the Roster for twice as long as him such as
Rusev & Cessaro.
I've seen the argument he should go back to NJPW and honestly I dont agree with that either.
He's accomplished more then about anyone in New Japans History Hes pretty much accomplished everything possible over their and being close to 40 years old. If he expects to ever get the gran prize in WWE which is a World Title reign then hes gonnna have to stay where hes at now. But with already accomplished what he has in such a little amount of time I do see him reaching the mountain top in the next few years.
