Shinsuke Nakamura entered with a new theme song on WWE Smackdown to take on Andrade. It was not too different from his old theme song. However, Nakamura has had a change in character following his return to the blue brand. He claimed a win over Andrade and dismissed the 'washed' claims and even sent a message to LA Knight ahead of their Survivor Series match.
Nakamura has had a brand new look since returning to WWE Smackdown. His face has been filled with a red mist which was not the case in the past. He looks as determined as ever and seems a genuine challenge for LA Knight. His match against Andrade showed he could still take on the best wrestlers on the roster.

The online fans do not seem to be too happy with the return of the Japanese star. However, he proved them wrong by showing his ability to wrestle well against someone like Andrade who has been at the top of his game throughout the year.
LA Knight's message for Shinsuke Nakamura
While Andrade showed his skills and wrestled well, it was Shinsuke who had the last laugh. He pinned Andrade to claim a win. Following the match, LA Knight tried to teach Nakamura a lesson. He tried to attack his Survivor Series opponent which turned out to be fatal.
Shinsuke recognized the threat and split the mist into Knight's eyes. The United States Champion suffered badly as his eyes were irritated. The referees and security guards came to his help and ensured that the US Champion did not have to suffer. However, the message was sent to the mid-card champion.
Knight understood the threat he had for the Survivor Series. He addressed the attack from Nakamura past week and was confident of defending the title at the PLE. The US title will be on the line in Toronto as Nakamura would be hoping to clinch it from Knight. Fans hoped it to be a good match and felt difficult to pick the sides.
