#2 “Battle for the crown” on WWE SmackDown
Shinsuke Nakamura recently reverted to his old fascinating self on WWE SmackDown and has found a trusted friend in Rick Boogs. The King of Strong Style disliked that he had to share his royal title with the 'King of the Ring’, Baron Corbin.
Thus, he set his sights on Corbin’s crown and managed to steal it with ease. This has led to a few altercations between the two stars ever since.

Both superstars also locked horns on WWE SmackDown last week. Nakamura ended up winning the match, but Corbin tried to take back his crown.
However, Nakamura and Boogs teamed up to attack him at ringside and steal the crown once again. An irritated Corbin stormed backstage to confront Adam Pearce, who confirmed a match between the two superstars with the crown on the line.
It was certainly an interesting way to include both Corbin and Nakamura’s respective titles in a feud.
If Nakamura manages to win tonight, Corbin will likely come after him once again. The latter also has a disadvantage because Nakamura has Boogs on his side. As a result, could we see Corbin forming an alliance with another superstar?
