Shinsuke Nakamura lost to AJ Styles in the Last Man Standing match at Money in the Bank on Sunday night. After getting several shots at the WWE Championship, it looks like Nakamura will have to be moving on.
So where does Nakamura go from here? Let’s speculate a little bit here.
I actually think that there is already a storyline built-in for Nakamura. On Smackdown Live last week, Nakamura hit Jeff Hardy with a low-blow. As a result, their match ended via disqualification.
To me, that finish has me thinking that we are getting a Hardy vs Nakamura feud for the U.S Title. Nakamura is clearly dropping down from the WWE Title feud with Styles. This gives us a decent feud for the U.S Title over the next few weeks.
Wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Jeff drop the Title to Shinsuke. This will be a bit of a consolation prize for Nakamura so fans don’t think that he is completely being buried.
On a related note, here are our Summerslam predictions.
What do you think is next for Nakamura?
