Shinsuke Nakamura Debuts New Look In Shock WWE Return
Shinsuke Nakamura has made his shock return to WWE TV after a 7-month absence as he sets his sights on championship gold.
The last time WWE fans saw Shinsuke Nakamura compete on TV was back on the 22nd of April edition of Raw when he lost to Sheamus. Since then Nakamura has not been seen on TV but has continued to compete on live events and he challenged LA Knight for the US Title during the recent UK tour in October.
The 15th of November edition of SmackDown saw LA Knight put his title on the line in an open challenge after he rejected a chance to join Sami Zayn, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Roman Reigns in WarGames. Santos Escobar and Legado del Fantasma soon made their presence felt but rather than Escobar answering Knight’s challenge, it was Berto instead.

The bout was a short one as Knight nailed his top rope elbow and the BFT to pick up the win and retain his title. After the match, however, Knight’s celebrations were cut short as Shinsuke Nakamura with a whole new look took out the US Champion.
