After making his debut on SmackDown earlier in the night and being challenged to a match by Dolph Ziggler during commercials, Shinsuke Nakamura took on Ziggler in a dark match after 205 Live. Nakamura won via the Kinshasa.

Explanation for the dark match from an earlier post:
During commercials, 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.
