Get back in? With so many wrestlers on the WWE roster, it can be easy for someone to find themselves with nothing going on. On occasion, there will just not be anything for them to do and that can leave them sitting on the sidelines for a long time. You will see wrestlers looking for something to do despite being ready to go, which is the case with another popular WWE Superstar.

Shinsuke Nakamura has not been active on WWE television since April, when he was defeated by Sheamus. According to Fightful Select, Nakamura is healthy and capable of wrestling on television again if needed, but creative simply has nothing for him. Nakamura has wrestled on WWE live events over the summer, including international events. There is no word on when Nakamura could return to television.

Opinion: This is one of those things that goes to show you just how fast things can change in wrestling. Nakamura was headlining a pay per view less than a year ago and now he is coming up on six months without wrestling on television. You would think that WWE could have something planned or him but for now, it is a lot of sitting around waiting for him to do something while he keeps collecting checks.
