Shinsuke Nakamura made his on-screen return in WWE not very long ago. He now has created a major impact upon his return as well. During an episode of SmackDown some weeks ago, he attacked LA Knight, announcing his return and setting up the match for the United States Championship at Survivor Series. The result that has taken place in Canada has shocked everyone.
LA Knight, who is currently one of the major babyfaces in the company, held the US title since August. He won it by defeating former champion Logan Paul at SummerSlam. His reign came to an end last night as Shinsuke Nakamura pinned him to become a three-time United States Champion at Survivor Series. This victory has shocked everyone, as LA Knight was not expected to drop the title so soon. Moreover, no one expected Nakamura to win a championship so quickly upon his return.
Shinsuke Nakamura has been in WWE for over eight years now. The Japanese wrestler had been struggling to find his place on the match card before disappearing. His sudden return took the wrestling world by storm as he went straight after championship gold. All the odds were also seen to be against him considering LA Knight had been on a hot streak defending his championship. The 2018 Royal Rumble winner surprised everyone by pinning LA Knight in his first match back.
It seems like Triple H is very well aware of the talent that Nakamura possesses. The Survivor Series Premium Live Event was full of surprises, and this one seemed to be on top. The New United States Champion will most likely be a part of Friday Night SmackDown, and that is probably where his rivalry with LA Knight will continue.
Fans react to Shinsuke Nakamura’s shocking victory over LA Knight
The events that unfolded at Survivor Series during the United States Championship match have left the WWE Universe in shock. Multiple fans have shared varied opinions of their own, but they seem to be pissed about one common thing.
It seemed like throughout the match LA Knight was not himself. Normally known in the ring for his smart decisions, the former United States champion did not look like himself out there. It seems like, according to the fans, WWE had booked him in such a way as to make sure he looked bad during the match.
The members of the WWE Universe seemed very unhappy about the way the whole rivalry was booked. They felt that LA Knight should have dropped the championship to someone who had a proper booking. This whole rivalry and match have not only made LA Knight look bad but have also reflected on how rushed the whole angle was.
While the fans are mad about one thing, they are very happy that WWE is treating Nakamura with the type of respect that he deserves. Shinsuke is a wrestling legend around the globe, and his WWE career has not exactly been the brightest. With Triple H now in charge, fans are already seeing a lot of major changes.
