Well, that was quick.

Shinsuke Nakamura is a genius, a heel genius that used one element from his arsenal to end his match with Jeff Hardy in a way no one could have predicted. After making their way down to the ring ready to start the match, Hardy and Nakamura were waiting for the bell to be rung to start the match, but Nakamura had other plans in mind. A low blow from Nakamura to Hardy while the referee's back turned stunned the former US Champion and the crowd, after that it was all simple, Nakamura hit a jaw-shattering Kinshasa and won his first main roster title.

This was one of those WTF moments as WWE did something they rarely do, which is thinking, innovating and executing a perfect booking strategy, as fans already saw Hardy vs. Nakamura on Smackdown Live, and this encounter would not feel as fresh as it was pegged to be. What was surprising is that Hardy lost in almost ten seconds or fewer and Nakamura got to flex his heelish antics and look like a total genius.
