From one Japanese star turning heel and changing their entrance to another.

Shinsuke Nakamura was set for big things in 2018. He won the Royal Rumble match, had been put over by the likes of John Cena, and was set to clash with his old New Japan rival, AJ Styles, on The Grandest Stage of Them All for the biggest prize in the game.

Sadly, their WWE Championship match at WrestleMania was nowhere the quality of their Wrestle Kingdom 10 bout and fans were left more than a little disappointed. However, what didn't underwhelm was the post-match angle.

Following his loss to AJ, Nakamura seemed to show the champ respect. This respect didn't last though, as Nakamura hit AJ right in the X-Division with a low blow. He then hit a Kinshasha to seal the deal and send AJ home with a smashed jaw, as well as smashed family jewels.

Whilst Nakamura's heel run has been a little on the disappointing side, his actual will go down as one of the best in the history of 'Mania.
