Nakamura and Rollins 'Burn it Down' at Survivor Series 2018

Seth Rollins vs Shinsuke Nakamura

A match that we've never seen before, and may never see again in Seth Rollins vs Shinsuke Nakamura. As expected, these men put on a great showing for one another. Both dealt a considerable amount of damage to the other, making each other look good coming out of it. Even though it was Rollins who got the victory, a lot of people were happy with Shinsuke's performance.

Since we don't see Nakamura in the ring much these days, it was great to see him tear it up against someone equally great as he, if not better. Mind games ensued in this match as well, with Nakamura doing the "COME ON!" shtick (which honestly, never gets old).

It was obvious that each man did their homework on the other. But this still proved to be an amazing match nonetheless. A lot of awesome spots here, Rollins reversing the Kinshasa into the Ripcord Knee, Shinsuke hitting the Landslide, Rollins with the superplex into the Falcon Arrow, I could go on and on.

Nakamura has quite the reputation for delivering low blows

Let's switch gears, it was highly expected that Nakamura would ruin this match for everybody by going for the low blow that he has been so fond of lately. We are so grateful that this wasn't the case. These two actually had a clean match. No outside interference, no cheating, just straight down the middle.

We only have WWE creative to thank for that, as it honesetly would've been a tragic turn of events to what was expected to be a 5 star match. Granted, Shinsuke still had a powerful heel showing here, exhausting the 5 count every chance he got. But nonetheless, it was a very entertaining bout and we can only hope that they will meet again in the future.

This, without a doubt, was only a taste of what Rollins and Nakamura are capable of doing in a ring together. The match was great and if they ever face off again, it will definitely surpass the "5 star" mark.
