10 Strongest Sellers In WWE Today
3. Shinsuke Nakama
In a little over six months with WWE, Shinsuke Nakamura managed to defeat Finn Bálor clean, headline multiple NXT TakeOver events, and win the NXT Championship on two separate occasions. Nakamura's first night with the company came at NXT TakeOver: Dallas when he debuted against NXT flagbearer, Sami Zayn.
Some would say this match is still Nakamura's best since joining NXT and, like most great matches, Zayn vs. Nakamura from WrestleMania weekend had the fans emotionally invested. We've already talked about Sami Zayn's ability to draw the fans in, but Shinsuke showed, on his very first night wrestling for the United States-based promotion, that he could deliver and tell a story as well as anybody.
In the span of half-a-year, Nakamura's had numerous critically acclaimed matches, but the reality is the King of Strong Style often doesn't do a whole lot, physically, in these contests - at least not compared to some of his peers.
This is far from a knock on the current NXT Champion and, rather, is a testament to how good he is in between the ropes. Nakamura is a perfect example of how talents don't need to constantly put their bodies at risk, work at a lightning-quick pace, or take death-defying bumps in order to deliver a quality match. With incredible selling abilities, including great facial expressions and storytelling skills, Nakamura has become one of the business' most consistent performers while minimizing the physical risks.
