The match between Nakamura and Muta had an unusual ending. It doesn’t include a major finishing move by the ‘King of Strong Styles’ but he pulled Muta’s popular trick against him to end the match.

I have never seen anything like this.
The sight of Shinsuke Nakamura extracting the mist from Great Muta's mouth and using it on him will definitely stay with me throughout 2023.

Honestly, I’m so glad that Triple H allowed Nakamura to do this! That was awesome!

Nakamura once again needs to be the top guy in WWE.
WWE never knew how to use Shinsuke or any other japanese star in the right way, and they will never understand how to do it, look what they did to Iyo and Asuka for example, they all should go back to Japan, STARDOM and TJPW are doing so well and Shinsuke can be a god at NJPW

Vince dropped the ball with him

The pop for ‘The Artist’ was huge when William Regal announced his name for a match against Sami Zayn in 2016. Since then, he has come a long way. In the yellow brand, he won the NXT Championship twice before moving to the main roster.
Moreover, the main roster beginning was amazing as he won the 2018 Royal Rumble. He was in the WWE Championship pursuit for some time, but was unsuccessful. Until now, he has won the US Title and Intercontinental Title twice, also having a reign with SmackDown Tag Team Title with Cesaro.
