He’s Arrived: A Huge Star Makes His Official WWE Main Roster Debut on SmackDown

Okay, you either have seen it or want to know, so here’s goes – yes wrestling fans, the King of Strong Style is on the main roster.

Shinsuke Nakamura showed up tonight on SmackDown Live – making his big debut and setting off a huge buzz on Twitter about his arrival.

Wrestling Observer had this to say about the debut of Nakamura:

Nakamura debuted on SmackDown tonight following a segment where The Miz and Maryse were mocking John Cena and Nikki Bella. As they were about to leave the ring, a violinist made his way out and Nakamura’s music hit. Nakamura got a big reaction and the crowd chanted his name when his music ended. He posed in the ring and left without saying a word.

It was expected that Nakamura would make his way to Raw or SmackDown soon after losing clean to Bobby Roode in the main event of NXT TakeOver: Orlando last Saturday. Nakamura was a two-time NXT Champion while part of the brand, first beating Samoa Joe for the title in Brooklyn last August and then regaining it in his home country at a show in Osaka in December.
