Shinsuke Nakamura Turns Babyface, WWE Brings Back His Old Entrance Theme

Submitted by David Draiman on

During last night's episode of SmackDown, Shinsuke Nakamura was involved in an in-ring segment with Jey Uso after Uso announced his entry into the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match at the Royal Rumble PPV and declared that he would win the match and he would then take out whoever the WWE Champion is on RAW. Jey Uso and Shinsuke Nakamura would then be involved in a confrontation, with Nakamura as the babyface.

This confrontation would then lead into a match between Nakamura and Uso. While Shinsuke Nakamura was making his way down to the ring for his match against Uso, Shinsuke Nakamura's old entrance theme was playing in the background, signifying his babyface turn.

Immediately after beating Uso, The King Of Strong Style took to Twitter and confirmed that he will be using "The Rising Sun" by CFO$ going forward. After SmackDown went off the air, Nakamura said that he plans to go after Roman Reigns' Universal Championship.

This is the first time in three years that Nakamura has turned back to being a babyface since his WWE Championship Match at WrestleMania 34 against AJ Styles.
