4-time WWE champion appears on-screen during SmackDown; gets cut short

A four-time WWE champion recently bypassed the company’s digital security to appear on this week’s SmackDown on-screen. While the Stamford-based promotion successfully blocked the interference and cut his appearance short, Shinsuke Nakamura made the statement he wanted to.

Nakamura is a two-time United States Champion, a one-time Intercontinental Champ, and a one-time Tag Team Champ. He returned to the company last week and attacked WWE US Champion LA Knight. The Megastar had just won a title defense match against Legado Del Fantasma’s Berto.

This week, while The Megastar was about to start another title defense match against Santos Escobar, Shinsuke Nakamura took control of the big screen. The Man of Strong Style played a vignette targeting LA and shat he knew about all his insecurities.

While his hijacking was cut short before he delivered his complete message, Knight got distracted, allowing Escobar to land the first strike.

“LA Knight. I have watched you. I have watched and learned you better than you know yourself. You are riddled with insecurities. You beg them to chant your name with a growing aura of desperation. You lash out so they don't see how frightened you are. How you lie at night, consumed with fear that everything you've obtained will slip through your fingers. Your fears are justified. This is the beginning of your end,” he stated.

The Japanese wrestler was later seen at the ramp during the match and entered the ring to attack Knight when he defeated Escobar. The 44-year-old rammed The Megastar into the ring post several times before walking out of the arena.

It would be interesting to see if Nakamura would win an opportunity to win the WWE United States Championship a third time.
