A new-look Shinsuke Nakamura returned to Friday Night
Smackdown last night and took out the WWE United States
champion LA Knight, who had just successfully defended his
title against Berto.

Nakamura came out in a black outfit, covered in a dark brown
trench coat and red paint on his face and waited for Knight
to stop celebrating before knocking him out with an elbow
followed by a Kinshasa.

The former NXT champion has not been seen on WWE television
since April of this year but worked several non-televised
live events along the way, including the recent Japan and
European tours.

The Japanese star has already been advertised for the
January 1 Pro Wrestling NOAH show in Japan.
