Here are three reasons why Shinsuke Nakamura isn’t coming back in WWE alone:
#3. An individual presence may not stand out
WWE currently has one of the most crowded rosters featuring talents from youngsters to veterans. In such a stacked roster environment, a solo mid-card or main event singles run faces immense competition. Shinsuke Nakamura is widely regarded for his enigmatic charisma and iconic entrance. But had he returned as a singles star, he could have been lost in the shuffle right away.
A prolonged solo run can fall into repetitive creative patterns without any promising storyline framework. By bringing Nakamura back as part of a newly formed team rather than a single star, WWE can immediately inject fresh energy into his character. Whenever a new tag team or faction forms, fans always show interest and it helps superstars remain in the spotlight.
A tag team alliance would allow The King of Strong Style to showcase different facets of his personality. WWE can use him in several intriguing ways, starting with his feud with the MFT. Therefore, Shinsuke Nakamura not returning alone appears to be a creative strategic move to prevent him from getting lost in the shuffle on SmackDown’s crowded roster.
#2. Shinsuke Nakamura cannot take on the MFT by himself
The MFT has established itself as one of the most dominant units, terrorizing the entire SmackDown roster. They established their dominance by using ruthless group tactics and overwhelming numbers to sideline Shinsuke Nakamura for months. Ever since Haku joined his sons, Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga have gotten a newfound identity.
Attempting to wage a war against a dominant faction like the MFT as a lone wolf is a recipe for defeat. Nakamura acknowledged this reality directly in his recent video package. A head-on confrontation with Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga would result in him getting beaten up yet again. This would also make things quite predictable, as beating the numbers game alone is almost impossible.
However, equipping Shinsuke Nakamura with a credible partner would level the playing field physically and strategically. It would eliminate the automatic numbers advantage the MFT relies on during brawls and match interferences. Having a partner would therefore provide vital backup to neutralize outside attacks and watch his back, something that Nakamura couldn’t do alone.
#1. WWE may be planning to revive the tag team division
The SmackDown tag team division has fallen into a bottomless pit in recent times. The roster that once thrived with some of the most iconic tag teams of this industry is facing a major dilemma of late. Bringing Shinsuke Nakamura back with a partner appears to be the first step in rebuilding the tag team division. The company seemingly has plans to revive the tag team division.
Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga have already established themselves as a dominant duo on the blue brand. However, they have been facing a dearth of credible challengers in recent times. By pairing Nakamura with another established superstar or a debuting force, the creative team can instantly establish a formidable duo capable of anchoring Friday Night SmackDown.
A heated feud between the MFT and Shinsuke Nakamura’s team can elevate the importance of SmackDown’s landscape. It would open the door for some blockbuster high-stakes premium live event matches and potential tag team championship pursuits down the line. All in all, it could play a key role in reviving the tag team division of the blue brand.
