Shinsuke Nakamura has stepped up in the absence of his former Tag Team partner to take on Seth Rollins this weekend at Fastlane.
After The Messiah attacked The Swiss Superman last week on SmackDown, he made his way into the backstage area where he was seen with Nakamura. The Artist made it clear that he wasn't happy about the events that had just unfolded.
Nakamura went one step further this week when he interrupted and attacked Rollins as he bragged about his assault on Cesaro. Over the past year, Nakamura and Cesaro have become close friends and are former Tag Team Champions, which is why The Artist has stepped up to help his friend in this match against Rollins.
Nakamura is obviously out for revenge this weekend at Fastlane after Rollins' actions towards Cesaro. As seen this past week on SmackDown, it only takes one Kinshasa to ground the former World Champion and make his point.
