NXT’s Shinsuke Nakamura made his main roster debut on WWE SmackDown tonight, interrupting The Miz and Maryse with his entrance theme music, then not really doing anything else other than entering the ring on TV.
During commercials, however, Dolph Ziggler actually came out and cut a promo on Nakamura, saying that if this wasn’t a post-WrestleMania crowd, no one would know who he was. Ziggler then challenged Nakamura to a (dark) match, which will take place after 205 Live goes off the air.
