#6 Shinsuke Nakamura def. Jeff Hardy (United States Championship)
Match: With the referee’s back turned before the match, Shinsuke Nakamura struck Jeff Hardy with a low-blow. After a short delay, Jeff told the official he was ready to start, and Nakamura took full advantage by winning the title in just six seconds after a Kinshasa.
Trending
Following the match, Randy Orton made a surprise return and, just when it looked like he was set to target the new US champ, he kicked Jeff in the groin in the middle of the ring before walking to the back.
Verdict: Six-second match? Check. Title change? Check. Unexpected return? Check. Heel turn? Check. Considering this was one of the least anticipated matches of the night, it certainly packed a lot of stories into one short segment. It’s difficult to grade a match this short, but fair play to WWE for leaving us all wondering what’s going to happen next!
Grade: B
