Shinsuke Nakamura Makes WWE Debut On Smackdown (With Video)

As we teased earlier in the day, and throughout the evening, former NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura made his WWE Smackdown debut this week.

During a segment featuring The Miz and Maryse, the Japanese star and former IWGP Heavyweight Champion appeared on WWE main roster TV for the first time. Nakamura was joined by Lee England, Jr., known as the "Michael Jordan of violinists." 

Nakamura wasn't involved in any physical altercation, as Miz and Maryse darted from the ring.

Nakamura was signed in early 2016, and spent a year in NXT before finally making his debut. You can see our full coverage of Smackdown Live at this link.
