#1 Worst: The basis of the Nakamura-Corbin feud on SmackDown

While we will admit that Shinsuke Nakamura and King Corbin have surprisingly good chemistry on SmackDown, the storyline that began on the show was a bit weird. Once again, King Corbin defeated Shinsuke Nakamura. It was a clean victory, but the Japanese superstar didn't take long to attack Corbin from behind and take his crown.

The era of King Corbin could be over and Nakamura might emerge to the throne. It's been nearly two years since Corbin won the King of the Ring and started that gimmick, so it's safe to say that it's run its course.

Although we're not sure why WWE had Corbin win clean and then proceeded to book Nakamura as a bitter babyface, the match was fun. But other than that, the entire basis of the storyline is silly and childish.

It's good to see both men getting utilized on SmackDown one way or the other, but WWE's presentation of Shinsuke Nakamura has never lived up to expectations. Will the King Of Strong Style get the ultimate payoff on SmackDown soon?
