Low: Shinsuke's heel turn

<p>

Nearly everyone expected this to be Shinsuke's night. Despite a stellar performance by both men, the end was a shocker when AJ cleanly pinned Nakamura to retain the Smackdown championship.

Fans could have dealt with that stunning disappointment, had it not been for what happened next; Nakamura snapped and turned heel, attacking AJ after the match was over.

A heel turn for one of the most popular babyfaces EVER makes little sense, and may fall flat on its face; Many still cheered for Nakamura as he cockily left AJ in a heap. One is reminded of WCW's failed attempt to turn Sting into a villain which resulted in fans signs such as; EVIL STING RULES.
