Awful feud. Jinder as a heel character I don't mind, he gets heat and looks the part, but the promo material he's been given for this feud has been horrendous and unfortunately he's pretty average in the ring so the matches have been weak as well.

As for Nakamura well he needs to stay far far away from a microphone, his poor attempts at English do him no favours and make for some of the worst promos ever, for a headliner fans expect better. The less is more booking approach worked well with him making him have more impact and seem more special.
He's failed to produce in the ring as well, his main roster matches haven't touched the quality we saw from him down in NXT.

I don't know what the answer is, it may be too late to save him now. A heel turn with a manager maybe? Alternatively I would say have him take a break to try and allow the memory of this feud to fade and then have him suddenly return and don't ever let him cut a promo again.

I honestly think this is the only thing they can do with him now - whatever route they do decide to take though he should not have any mic time what so ever In fact to build his aura he should just get the job done without saying a single word - he couldnt do that as his face persona because it wouldnt be interactive enough for all his little fans sat ringside

Yes and this is the problem. Because WWE want their popular babyfaces to be interactive and family friendly this is what led to Nakamura cutting these horrible promos where in honesty he comes a across as creepy and weird and his promos are senseless ramblings.

I would like to see him in a heel role similar to that of Yokozuna from years back where a manager would do the bulk of his promo work and then maybe Nakamura could just have one simple line at the end to close out the promo. Trouble is you turn him heel it really removes much of what is special about him, the flashy entrance and weird dance moves would all have to go.

The other option which we haven't mentioned would be to switch him to Raw and keep him babyface and go with the rebooted character who never speaks.

On Smackdown he's failed miserably to beat the champion on two occasions so it's hard to see where he goes from here.

A heel turn would require a complete overhaul of his gimmick and it is the flamboyant character that the people seem to enjoy so I think it's maybe a little early to be changing him so dramatically, but they do need to do something to stop him from sinking down the card and to stop fans from losing interest and rejecting him.
