#4 Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Baron Corbin on WWE SmackDown
Baron Corbin and Shinsuke Nakamura competed in yet another match on WWE SmackDown this week. The two men competed to claim a spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match.
Big E and Pat McAfee enjoyed pedicures while watching the match at ringside as the two rivals got down to business inside the ring. Corbin tried to focus on the action and took control of the bout early on.
Nakamura fought back and delivered a few big strikes to take down his larger opponent. Corbin tried to punish Nakamura and sent him into the announcers table a few times. He survived a triangle choke and delivered a big clothesline to gain control late in the match.
However, Corbin could not stay on top for long and Nakamura took him down with a Kinshasa to pick up the win and advance to Money in the Bank.
This was a much better contest between the two SmackDown Superstars. The match was better-paced and had some big spots. Nakamura deserved to win and progress to the MITB ladder match.
The King of Strong Style should be performing at the top of the card on SmackDown. Even though he probably won’t win the MITB briefcase, he can add a different dimension to the contest.
