Shinsuke Nakamura attacks Rusev: SmackDown LIVE, Nov. 27, 2018

The United States Champion ruthlessly attacks Rusev before their scheduled match.

United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev were scheduled to face off for the first time ever in non-title competition on SmackDown LIVE. Nakamura, though, suddenly attacked The Bulgarian Brute before the match began. WWE’s Rockstar was unrelenting, putting The Super Athlete down with a barrage of strikes and keeping him there by laying him out with two brutal Kinshasas.

Does Nakamura’s unprovoked assault speak volumes about The Artist’s concern of eventually facing Rusev?
