Few are predicting that Shinsuke Nakamura will lose his NXT Championship to Bobby Roode on Saturday night, but if he does, prepare for a wildly popular entry into the Royal Rumble match.

Nakamura has proven insanely popular since his debut against Sami Zayn last year, and shouldn't spend too much longer in NXT if WWE hope to capitalise on his brutal in-ring style and off-kilter charisma. He's a true crossover star, and would instantly infuse the 2017 Rumble with a shot of adrenaline if he were to make his first main roster appearance in the match.
