WWE 2K20: 10 Most Over-Rated Roster Members

8. Shinsuke Nakamura (88)

Shinsuke Nakamura might be the current Intercontinental Champion, but let's be honest, WWE hasn't ever exploited him to his fullest potential, and going by the fairly workmanlike quality of his matches, there's no way he justifies an 88 rating.

Anyone who's seen Nak's work in NJPW knows he's capable of so much more, but where's the kayfabe proof?

Nakamura definitely deserves a respectable 84 or 85, but 88 feels a little too close to top-shelf talents who have actually proven worthy of their ratings - namely Daniel Bryan (89), John Cena (89), and Kofi Kingston (90).

There's a reality where Nak is booked appropriately and gets a real chance to showcase his God-tier skills, but his WWE run to date has been depressingly mediocre, so this rating feels more reflective of his reputation rather than what he's actually proven in the ring.
