Nakamura has been on a roll in recent weeks and has defeated Alpha Academy members Otis and Akira Tozawa. This meant that there was only one more person for him to defeat - Chad Gable.
Chad Gable has been the leader of the remaining Alpha Academy members, and hence, he took it upon himself to avenge his stablemates' loss over the past few weeks.
Tonight on the red brand, Gable went one-on-one with the King of Strong Style. He brought the fight to Nakamura and came pretty close to defeating him on multiple occasions. Gable even locked in the ankle lock on Nakamura.

Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
