For months, WWE hasn't booked Shinsuke Nakamura to his full potential, whether it was in his matches, in his promos or even his gimmick.

However, this week on Smackdown Live, WWE addressed all of those areas by booking Nakamura the best he has ever been, by pitting him against the talented Shelton Benjamin, making his promos more direct and bringing out the best from his wacky character.

These things made his programme with AJ Styles feel more like a championship programme with two serious pro wrestlers, instead of the over-the-top way feuds get started in WWE.

WWE booked Nakamura as a man that wants to fight the best and beat the best; that was conveyed in the right way on this week's edition of Smackdown Live.
