10 New WWE Directions For Shinsuke Nakamura

9. Revenge On Baron Corbin

Rumours have been circulating ever since Nakamura defeated John Cena to become number one contender, concerning the role of Baron Corbin at SummerSlam. The Lone Wolf will be facing Cena in a match with little seemingly at stake - but could this merely be a distraction to lull fans into a false sense of security, before a climactic cash-in after Shinsuke vs. Jinder?

Personally, I hope this isn't true - or if it is, I hope Nakamura wins the title back shortly after. Yes, giving Corbin a short reign may bury him slightly, but I feel he would be a far less compelling champion than Shinsuke.

Whether Corbin cashes in or not, Nakamura owes him a measure of revenge for the cheap shots he took during their recent feud - so should Shinsuke win at SummerSlam you have to assume that Baron is his next opponent.
