Fightful Select reports Nakamura is scheduled to start a program with Karrion Kross on the show. WWE had a Nakamura tarot card produced for it. WWE sent out the following to hype the return:
“Next week on Friday Night SmackDown, “The King of Strong Style” Shinsuke Nakamura returns to action!
Nakamura hasn’t been seen since before the new year, facing off with Santos Escobar in the SmackDown on FOX World Cup First Round.
In that time, Nakamura has kept busy, facing off against The Great Muta in one of his final matches before being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
What impact will Nakamura have, being back on the blue brand? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on FOX!”
Xavier Woods vs. LA Knight has also been confirmed for SmackDown.
