R-Truth vs. Shinsuke Nakamura: SmackDown LIVE, Aug. 7, 2018

Continuing to show his renewed sense of purpose since returning from injury, R-Truth looks to knock United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura down a peg.

Wanting to make a statement ahead of his United States Title defense against Jeff Hardy at SummerSlam, Shinsuke Nakamura squared off against R-Truth on SmackDown LIVE after a strange altercation backstage.

Truth brought the fight to The King of Strong Style, but the ultra-aggressive Nakamura forced Truth to say “What’s up?” to a Kinshasa right to his dome piece at point-blank range, which earned WWE’s Rockstar the victory.
