WWE News: Big Planning With Shinsuke Nakamura Following The Backlash PPV

Shinsuke Nakamura has debuted on Smackdown Live on the very next episode after Wrestlemania. It was a much anticipated moment for the fans. They have expected to witness the King of Strong Styles on the main roster for quite a long time.

Now, he is all set to receive his first match as part of the main roster at the upcoming Backlash PPV. His rivalry with Dolph Ziggler has reached a boiling point and what better way to settle it with a match. It should be a classic one considering these two are veterans in the pro-wrestling industry.

WWE creative has put the in-ring debut of Nakamura onto hold since they wanted it to happen in a bigger fashion. The Artist is a precious sportsperson and deserves a marquee match on his debut. So, a slot at a PPV is the perfect spot for him.

He is also set to be the major babyface superstar on Smackdown Live who should fill up the void created by John Cena. So, a big push is waiting for him once the Backlash PPV is done. Quite expectedly, he is the favourite one to come out victorious in his match against Dolph Ziggler.

Afterwards, he will be waiting to pick up a dream opponent. As per reports from inquisitor.com, he will soon get into the United States title picture to ensure his feud against Kevin Owens.

The hint of this rivalry was given in a listing from an upcoming live event. The Smackdown-exclusive house show in Bakersfield, California in late June has advertised Nakamura vs. Owens. It is certainly an indication of the way the creative is intending to go.

Also, considering the fact that Owens vs. Nakamura would be contested for the United States title confirms that Owens will come victorious in the Backlash match against AJ Styles.

The source also reported that the dream feud between Styles vs. Owens will be much appreciated by the audience. But, it is not expected to long last since Nakamura is expected to enter into the scenarios sooner than expected. Styles would be removed from the scene since Styles vs. Nakamura is expected to headline Wrestlemania 34.
