Practicing is very important. With just over a month to go before his Smackdown World Title shot at “Wrestlemania XXXIV”, Shinsuke Nakamura is in need of some momentum. He’s barely wrestled on TV since winning the 2018 Royal Rumble and needs to do something as we head towards New Orleans. He was in action on Tuesday, albeit after the cameras were off.
At least he has something for this weekend.
Opinion: I’m not sure I get how they’re going about setting up Nakamura for his “Wrestlemania XXXIV” match. He was barely on TV for weeks and is then put into a mini feud with one of the most popular acts on “Smackdown Live”. A win over Rusev on pay per view will help him, but is that really the best method to get him ready for a major match?
In case you need more of English getting beaten up.
