Loser: Shinsuke Nakamura
Shinsuke Nakamura's loss has sent him into the mid-card permanently. This was his sixth attempt at the WWE title and he failed all six times. Despite the momentum and the buzz being on his side, the normal booking formula took hold. Styles' title reign, which has long passed its expiration date, will continue, and SmackDown is in limbo.
The match wasn't particularly great either.
What happened to Asuka and Shinsuke Nakamura last night really does send a bad message to international talent who might wish to sign with the company. For all its supposed commitment to "diversity and inclusion," the company hasn't acted like it in the slightest, even if the international talent is on a hot streak.
Someone really does need to raise a bigger stink about this.
