Shinsuke Nakamura, widely regarded as one of the most talented wrestlers in the world, is currently experiencing a dismal run in the WWE. The Japanese veteran has found himself on a massive losing streak, with his latest defeat at the hands of Cody Rhodes at the live event in Vienna marking his 21st consecutive loss.
Nakamura’s last victory dates back to February, when he defeated Sami Zayn on an episode of Monday Night RAW. Since then, he has been on a downward spiral, failing to secure a single win in over six months.
This unfortunate slump has raised eyebrows among fans and critics alike, with many wondering what could be the reason behind Nakamura’s sudden decline.
It’s worth noting that Nakamura has been used as an upper mid-card act on TV and live events for quite some time now.
He was once a top name on SmackDown, even winning the 2018 Men’s Royal Rumble match. However, despite his impressive credentials, Nakamura has struggled to regain his footing in recent months.
Nakamura’s career trajectory took a significant turn when he challenged AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 34.
Although he failed to win the coveted belt, his subsequent heel turn and low blow to Styles hinted at a promising new direction for his character. Unfortunately, this momentum was short-lived, and Nakamura soon found himself stuck in a rut.
The WWE regime under Triple H has seen several superstars experience similar losing streaks, with Solo Sikoa being another notable example. Sikoa recently broke his 39-match losing streak at the Bologna live event, but Nakamura remains stuck in his slump.
As Nakamura continues to struggle, fans can’t help but wonder what the future holds for this incredibly talented wrestler. Will he be able to break out of his losing streak and reclaim his spot as one of the top stars in the WWE?
Only time will tell. For now, Nakamura’s unfortunate slump serves as a reminder that even the best of the best can experience setbacks in their careers.
