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.
