10 Wrestlers Who MUST Switch Brands In The 2021 WWE Draft

9. ‘King’ Nakamura (SmackDown To Raw)

WWE Draft 2021

Who knows when WWE will pull the trigger on another King Of The Ring tournament. It's been teased, but there's no official announcement yet. That hasn't stopped SmackDown's creative team from booking Shinsuke Nakamura to take Baron Corbin's crown and become the new 'King' on Fridays.

That feud will run out of steam very, very soon.

WWE might be wise to shift Nakamura over to Raw and really go all in on his royal guise. Then, if they time it correctly, he could feud with the next KOTR tourney winner and determine once and for all who the true 'King' of the company is.

Also, and this is a selfish point, yours truly just really wants to see Nakamura vs. AJ Styles one last time before either party hangs up his boots or leaves the promotion. It's been a few years since WWE promoted that, and it could work if AJ gets the 'King' treatment himself.
