WWE has a lot of surprises that they could pull off, and this week’s SmackDown was no different. You never know who might show up each week, and we saw Shinsuke Nakamura again after a very long hiatus from television.

During the November 15, 2024 episode of SmackDown, Legado Del Fantasma approached LA Knight to challenge him for his United States Title. Santos Escobar wanted that title, and that set up a match against Legado Del Fantasma representative Humberto Carrillo getting a match against LA Knight.

After a hard-fought match, LA Knight won his match against Humberto. hen he got quite a surprise during his victory celebration as Shinsuke Nakamura showed up out of nowhere, dressed in all black, to lay Knight out.

This was a huge shock, as it marked Shinsuke Nakamura’s return to WWE television. He didn’t say anything after attacking LA Knight, as he left the ring, while Corey Graves called him a Wayward Samurai.

As of now, Shinsuke Nakamura’s most recent match took place on October 16, 2024, at a WWE live event in Manchester, England. Nakamura faced LA Knight for the United States Championship, with Knight retaining the title. However, Nakamura has been absent from television for an even longer period.

We will have to see what’s next for Shinsuke Nakamura. It appears that LA Knight has a new challenger for his United States Title.
