A sentient nut-punch looking for a target, serial manhood destroyer Shinsuke Nakamura will likely become WWE Champion by the year's end. There's talk that the company will extend his feud with AJ Styles through Extreme Rules (15 July), but he can't keep losing to 'The Phenomenal One' forever, particularly after going 0-1-2 in their first three title fights.

On his current path, losing the feud could be disastrous for Nakamura. The Royal Rumble winner needs that one run-defining victory to put him over the top in WWE almost as much as he needs to finally deliver a bout on-par with his classic debut against Sami Zayn. Does the 38-year-old even have such an effort in him anymore? That remains to be seen, but if WWE keep the next few Styles matches free of bulls***, he might be able to pull it off.

Regardless, Nakamura's record is in line with his push. He's one of SmackDown's biggest stars, and this reflects perfectly in the way he's booked, with Styles the only wrestler to beat him clean in singles competition this year.
