2-time NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura made his main roster debut on Tuesday night’s SmackDown Live from Orlando, Florida.
While The Miz and Maryse were cutting a promote on John Cena and Nikki Bella (dressed as them), they were interrupted by a violinist playing Nakamura’s theme. Nakamura came out to a huge ovation. He entered the ring and did his usual entrance and received a deafening “Nakamura” chant.
Nakamura competed at Saturday night’s NXT Takeover: Orlando event where he came up short against NXT Champion Bobby Roode in the main event.
After SmackDown and 205 Live went off the air, Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Dolph Ziggler in the dark match main event of the evening.

If this is the setup for Nakamura to feud with The Miz, no complaints from us.
