Last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown featured a “Battle for the Crown” between two kings – Baron Corbin and Shinsuke Nakamura. The latter recently reverted to his old, brutal self and allied with Rick Boogs. He then started targeting Corbin and even managed to steal his crown. Both superstars feuded for a month that led to their big match last week.

Breaking Vince Russo and Jim Cornette update HERE.

Nakamura picked up a win over Corbin and officially got the crown. He will start his reign on WWE SmackDown tonight, and the former “King of the Ring” might take offense. We could still see Corbin fighting to reclaim his crown. That said, there is a good chance that the creative team has decided to move on from this feud. Instead, they could turn all their focus towards making the crown more valuable on WWE SmackDown.

Nakamura’s “royal victory” has paved the way for other superstars to try their luck at becoming the "King." While this could prompt several opportunists to go after the crown, they will have to remember that the Japanese superstar has a strong associate watching his back. Boogs can play a crucial role in Nakamura’s extended run as a “King” on WWE SmackDown.
