Against legends like Goldberg, Cena, Lesner, and Edge, he successfully defended his title.

[{"selector":"#anim-1bb36a96-83cc-445f-9099-a70d885b9115 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(2.4107143160271427%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c91c8184-5d57-482e-9ac6-f30bbe0af16d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0652e295-1a40-4012-b647-bc95e6f35718","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -410.76386%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Now, it seems like the Tribal Chief has now come across someone who has all the fan support in the world. After his return to SmackDown, Shinsuke Nakamura revealed he's ready for a world title feud.

On SmackDown, Shinsuke made his WWE comeback, and he looked better than ever.

I need a great opponent. Also, I aim the world title from day 1". Fans are demanding Triple H book this match through tweets.

[{"selector":"#anim-04da3ca5-4bda-4eb8-aa85-4f5f7a05c5b1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-18.375933236445675%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Roman Reigns has held the title for 1,000+ days. Nakamura might be able to stop this, which might be a perfect chance for the company to reintroduce Nakamura for the big events.
