As anyone who watched the man's body of work in NJPW will tell you, we haven't seen the best of Shinsuke Nakamura in WWE quite yet. It's almost like creative have a leash on the man. Sure, he's charismatic and has a killer entrance, but his in-ring style hasn't fully come across the way it should on the main roster.

Look no further than the tepid SummerSlam WWE Title match Shinsuke had with Jinder Mahal for proof of that. At Starrcade, they'll meet again in a Steel Cage Match, and it's imperative that WWE just let Nakamura go nuts and show what he can do in the main event picture. He doesn't need to win the title, but he needs to have an amazing match.

If things don't pick up for Shinsuke soon then it's not outlandish to suggest WWE could lose faith in him before the end of the year. That's shameful, because it's partly their writing of the man that's to blame for his lacklustre run on SmackDown so far.

Cut him loose and he'll produce.
