The WWE United States champion’s title has been claimed by Shinsuke Nakamura, who emerged victorious over LA Knight in the ‘WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2024’ event!
Most of this year Nakamura was MIA from the screens, having taken a sabbatical from April 22nd until November 15th. Despite appearing in several matches at live event house shows during the period, he was notably absent from Friday Night SmackDown, even after being drafted into the show.
Upon his comeback, Shinsuke Nakamura underwent an intriguing transformation, adopting a more edgy persona and a darker demeanor. As the commentators highlighted, this new approach seemed to have mentally unsettled LA Knight in recent weeks, contributing to Nakamura’s win.
This victory marks Nakamura’s third stint as the United States Champion. His previous wins were on July 15, 2018, at Extreme Rules, and January 27, 2019, at the Royal Rumble.
