I’m sure the match will be great but it’s hard to care when Nakamura stands no chance of winning the title.

If I was a title holder, I would avoid the post match celebration like the plague. Someone is going to hit you very hard in the face.

It's a shame Renee Young isn't there anymore to ask why he did it.

Lost in all this man did Bronson Reed get shafted again lmfao
That dude's WWE run has been some major buns, and now they're calling him BIG BRONSON REED on top of it... hope this somehow still works out for ya man especially the way you bailed on New Japan.
As for Nakamura, I'm curious if he goes back to the Japanese Rap again, we all know the Seth feuds an auto loss, dude's like 0-10 in world title matches

If he did beat Rollins it'd be overdue and shocking.

He is big. There was big John studd which I'm sure has some influence on the nickname. There's also Big Bill in aew. I just don't see the issue at all with it. He really does need a story and some wins. Heel vs heel against gunther would be a great hard hitting match |

As long as he holds the world title for a few minutes it would be worth it. So weird to think he has never won it. the fact he didn't really sunk his original heel run. They couldn't have had the several dozen times he got DQ'd he couldn't have walked out with the title once? It'd have at least not made him look like a paper tiger. I don't want us to return to how it was in the late '90s, but I still think there's plenty of room in wrestling for 2-3 month long title reigns, and Nakamura would have been an excellent choice for that. It also would have probably helped their credibility quite a bit when they were trying to make NXT Japan a thing, so maybe it's ultimately for the best they didn't get to milk that for good will with Japanese companies that, frankly, had every reason to suspect WWE's motives and were probably wise to turn them down. |

Like we know he's big, it feels like a Vince thing to me This isn't helped by the first time they use it he loses clean as a sheet by the way |

Change it to Big Bill Morrissey and you've got something. The word "Big" is too usually too boring to be left to carry the weight of the next word (in MOST cases, not all. Big Bird, Big Lots, Big Ryck, all work). |

How does Bronson Reed and their best of infinity series fit into this? 🤔 lol
Nak is probably just fodder for Seth for a month or two but hopefully he can at least deliver a few good matches.

How about Bullet Bronson Reed? He could come to the ring dressed like Bullet Bill from Mario games.

It'd have at least not made him look like a paper tiger. the entire thing probably would’ve worked if he won it at least once. him failing to jinder of all people really hurt even more Sacrificing him to Jinder like that is STILL baffling, to the day. Especially after the kinds of promos they had Jinder cut. |

Jinder cutting those overtly racist promos about Nakamura and getting no comeuppance from it was basically as bad as Triple H vs. Booker T buildup to Mania 19. |

His only singles losses have been against Nakamura and his other losses have all been in multiman matches. His win rate is actually pretty high. The fact the guy who beat him is about to challenge for the world title and it took 2 finishers to beat Reed says a lot. |

He's going after the Roman Cheats Too Hard World Consolation Prize, so I say give him a reign. Doesn't have to be long. Show us that something meaningful is allowed to happen outside of Wrestlemania (that's an exaggeration but sometimes it feels like moments are only allowed at WM).
It solidifies him, opens up the field on Raw and possibly brings back that 'anything can happen' feeling that hasn't existed for a long time.

I think it's a plot device to get the title on Priest. Seth will beat Nakamura clean after a decent match and Nakamura will give him a post-match Kinshasa in temper then Priest can cash in without Judgement Day help which will widen the rift between him and Finn.

Nothing will make the title seem more like a midcard title than have f***ing Nakamura win it. Gawd just go away.
