Shinsuke Nakamura is finally back on SmackDown LIVE, and "The Artist" is more aggressive than we've ever seen him in a WWE ring.

The King of Strong Style lived up to his moniker in a hard-hitting match against Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor, dominating from the off and never giving the Irishman a chance to mount much in the way of offense.

In the end, Nak took things to the outside and hit a Kinshasa which forced a 10 count from the ref. While Balor did make it back through the ropes, Shinsuke was waiting with a second knee-strike to pin his opponent for the 3-count.

This obviously suggests that there's an IC Championship opportunity in Nakamura's future, and while it'll be a shame to see Finn lose the title, there's lots of potential for an awesome feud here.
