#3 Rey Mysterio will get into a rivalry with Shinsuke Nakamura
On SmackDown 1000, we saw a World Cup qualifier match between the King of Strong Style Shinsuke Nakamura, and the returning King of the Cruiserweights Rey Mysterio.
While Nakamura is currently the United States Champion in his first main roster title reign in the WWE, Mysterio has held numerous titles in the WWE during his illustrious career.
The Starrcade has a match between the two men scheduled which will be for the United States Championship. This means that after he has beaten Nakamura to cement his place in the WWE World Cup, he will announce himself as the worthy opponent to take on Nakamura for his title.
Nakamura hasn’t defended his title much since winning it claiming that he will only do so when a worthy opponent comes along.
It’s also possible that Mysterio will go on to win the World Cup at Crown Jewel, which will automatically give him a shot at the United States Championship after being declared the Best in the World.
Who’s worthier of a main roster title more than Mr. 619 himself?
