Nakamura was off our screens for a long bit. When he returned to SmackDown, he set his sights on the “Megastar”, and he inevitably dethroned him. Shinsuke Nakamura was in top form tonight, and he showed why he is still the “King of Strong Style” with such a dominant performance.
This United States Championship marks Shinsuke Nakamura’s third reign with the strap, along with being a two-time NXT Champion and Intercontinental Champion, and a SmackDown Tag Team Title run under his belt.
Whoever counted Nakamura out from striking gold in WWE once again must feel silly right now because the Japanese sensation looked like he didn’t miss a step and was as lethal as ever.
Sure, LA Knight put up a good fight, and he was a dominant champion in his own right. But as the WWE Universe saw, Shinsuke Nakamura proved to be the unstoppable force that ultimately led to his downfall.
