Shinsuke Nakamura appeared on SmackDown this week
The 42-year-old star made his triumphant return to the blue brand this week as a mystery partner for Hit Row.
Hit Row was a man short in the six-man tag team match against Legado Del Fantasma. Shinsuke Nakamura emerged as a mystery member and evened out the odds for Hit Row. In the final moments of the matchup, Santos Escobar suffered a Down Town Three by Top Dolla. This was followed by Shinsuke hitting Kinshasa and securing the win for his team.
The King of Strong Style is a highly accomplished star in the company, winning the NXT Championship. After his move to the main roster, Nakamura went on to become a two-time United States Champion, two-time Intercontinental Champion and one-time Tag Team Champion.
