This week’s episode of WWE SmackDown featured a "battle for the crown" between Shinsuke Nakamura and Baron Corbin.

The match was well-balanced between the two superstars as they took turns showcasing their dominance. However, Nakamura looked more confident inside the ring and was unbelievably aggressive in his attacks. He also took time to celebrate with Rick Boogs at ringside after successfully gaining the upper hand in his match on WWE SmackDown.

Corbin also made for a good opponent. He looked strong in his offense and was equally good with his counters. He dodged Kinshasa on a couple of occasions, but Nakamura eventually sealed the victory with his finisher in the end.

After losing the match, Corbin was left in tears while Nakamura hailed himself as royalty. This was an impressive way to involve both superstars in a feud, and it will be exciting to see if the storyline will continue to progress on WWE SmackDown.
