Both of WWE's mid-card champions have a hard-hitting move set, making this match a potential fan-friendly bout. However, WWE could book something unexpected at Survivor Series 2021.
Shinsuke Nakamura has held the Intercontinental Title since August but hasn't accomplished anything significant with it. WWE has not given him any serious rivals lately, causing his character to grow a bit stale.
Meanwhile, Damian Priest has been receiving a thunderous push. The former NXT North American Champion was able to defeat major stars like Drew McIntyre and Sheamus during his title reign. Also, we have seen a much more aggressive side of Damian Priest in recent weeks. This side of him could easily squash Shinsuke Nakamura at Survivor Series.
Damian Priest's dominant win over yet another world champion would add significant value to Priest's character. Nakamura's loss could also become the foundation of a heel turn. This character change would surely make fans take him much more seriously and the Intercontinental Title would regain its relevancy.
