WWE News: Shinsuke Nakamura faces Dolph Ziggler after SmackDown goes off the air

Shinsuke Nakamura had his first main roster match untelevised

Many wondered why Shinsuke Nakamura simply came out with music on SmackDown Live without any direct confrontation to The Miz or any match. That is likely because he was advertised for a dark match after SmackDown Live and 205 Live went off the air. The fans who waited were thoroughly rewarded.

The King Of Strong Style faced Dolph Ziggler in his first main roster match.

The finish of the match saw Nakamura hit The Showoff with a Kinshasha to gain the victory and send the Orlando crowd happy thus concluding WrestleMania week.

Shinsuke Nakamura made his main roster debut after spending exactly one year at NXT, debuting at Takeover: Dallas, and having his NXT swan song at Takeover: Orlando. It seemed fairly clear after his loss to Bobby Roode at Orlando that The King Of Strong Style would indeed be making the long overdue jump onto the main roster.

It is indeed a great moment for fans, and it very likely is a great moment for Shinsuke himself, who has openly stated that he would rather have gone to SmackDown Live than RAW, due to the fact that he will have the opportunity in the future to face his dream opponents such as John Cena, Randy Orton, and AJ Styles.

Tye Dillinger was another superstar from NXT who made a long overdue main roster debut. SmackDown Live has stacked up now that WrestleMania is over!
