Santos Escobar takes on Shinsuke Nakamura in SmackDown World Cup First-Round Showdown

Legado del Fantasma’s empire is surely growing, but there’s one obstacle in the way: The King of Strong Style.
The SmackDown World Cup on FOX will begin when these two rivals collide in the first round.
Two weeks ago, Shinsuke Nakamura backed up Hit Row in their Six-Man Tag Team Match against Legado del Fantasma. Nakamura proved to be an X-factor, getting the win for his team.
Can Escobar grow his empire by winning his first-round match in the SmackDown World Cup, or will Nakamura prove to be too much of a challenge? Find out this Friday at 8/7C on FOX!
