Smackdown MVP of the Night: Shinsuke Nakamura

The Shinsuke Nakamura heel turn is off to a phenomenal start. 😏 And his two appearances on last night's Smackdown definitely added momentum to the angle.

First, his brief interview backstage with Renee Young was priceless. He feigned remorse when asked about his dastardly actions the night before, mockingly apologizing for what he did to AJ. With the apology dripping in sarcasm and Nakamura acting like a puppy being scolded for soiling the rug, he then pulled the "no speak english" card when Renee asked him again why he did what he did. The segment was succinct, entertaining and showcased Nakamura's charisma in this new heel role. But most importantly of all, it got heat.

Then Nakamura would intervene in the dream match of a main event between returning Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles. Shinsuke would deliver a Kinshasa first to Bryan and then to Styles after delivering a low blow to AJ. He would then lift AJ's lifeless body to his feet and rack him in the nether region once again. I can't remember the last time a heel was so, well, heelish in the WWE. It certainly was refreshing to see, and I can't wait to see where this feud goes next.
