Shinsuke Nakamura is not holding back on WWE SmackDown
Shinsuke Nakamura has reverted to his old, dominant self on WWE SmackDown. He is currently toying with Baron 'King' Corbin and went as far as stealing the latter’s crown. Nakamura then took the crown on a vacation in order to irk Corbin and fuel their rivalry. Both superstars are currently feuding over the authenticity of their royal claims.
Last week, Nakamura and Corbin locked horns in a short yet action-packed match on WWE SmackDown. The latter interestingly managed to pin The King of Strong Style, following which, he decided to take back his crown. However, he couldn’t leave with the same as Rick Boogs stopped him on the ramp. This allowed Nakamura enough time to attack his opponent from behind to steal the crown once again.
Both Nakamura and Corbin have spent a lot of time on the sidelines in the last few months. This is an excellent way to involve them in a rivalry on WWE SmackDown. Nakamura’s alliance with Boogs seems decent so far, and the latter has proved himself useful on more than one occasion.
