WWE Live Event Results: Tokyo, Japan (06/29)

#4 Shinsuke Nakamura addresses the crowd

While Shinsuke Nakamura was one of the featured stars for the Smackdown Live event in Tokyo, Japan, he was unable to face AJ Styles for the WWE Championship as planned due to an apparent incident with a police dog in Bakersfield last week.

Shinsuke was interrupted by @SamoaJoe demanding he gift his title opportunity to Joe. Here, Shinsuke is explaining in clear English that he doesn’t speak English. Joe replied “honto ni?” and kicked out the crutch. AJ made the save, so Joe got what he wanted. #WWETokyo #wwe_jp pic.twitter.com/zJjocdLFdE
