Shinsuke Nakamura and King Corbin's feud initially seemed like something nobody had asked for. But their storyline featured some entertaining moments on this week's WWE SmackDown.

Corbin wanted retribution as Nakamura previously stole his beloved crown. However, he was interrupted by NXT talent Rick Boogs, who rocked with Nakamura by performing his theme song on a guitar.

Additionally, the visual of Nakamura wearing a crown went perfectly along with his engaging entrance. During Corbin vs. Nakamura, Boogs made his presence felt by distracting the Corbin, allowing the Japanese superstar to win with a small package.

Pat McAfee's enthusiastic commentary also added a lot of excitement to the match. Boogs and Nakamura have good chemistry on the screen, and fans have been buzzing about their pairing on social media.

WWE doesn't often book entertaining non-title mid-card storylines these days. However, King Corbin and Nakamura's feud should serve as a good contrast to the intensity of the top title scene.

Let's hope WWE can maintain the momentum of their crown warfare angle in the weeks to come.
