Shinsuke Nakamura vs Tye Dillinger

Tye Dillinger had an opportunity to get a future title opportunity on SmackDown Live.

Result: Tye Dillinger defeated Shinsuke Nakamura via disqualification after Randy Orton attacked him. Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura then both beat him up after the match.

Grade: A-

Analysis: This was great. You could feel Tye Dillinger's desperation to get an opportunity so he took Shinsuke Nakamura to the absolute limit. When it seemed like Shinsuke Nakamura would quickly squash Dillinger with a Kinshasa, Dillinger countered in into a Superkick/Frog Splash combo that almost got him the win.

It is also beneficial for Tye Dillinger that Tye Dillinger is involved in a rivalry with both Shinsuke Nakamura & Randy Orton. Both superstars get a decent amount of screen time so this will help Dillinger get some much-deserved television time.

Tye Dillinger will also be cheered when going up against Randy Orton who has insane levels of heat. Shinsuke Nakamura's Kinshasa into the apron looked vicious as well. Hopefully, Tye Dillinger will get pushed as a result of this. Randy Orton vs Tye Dillinger and Tye Dillinger vs Shinsuke Nakamura should be great matches.
