Back in his New Japan days, Shinsuke Nakamura was the original leader of Chaos, a faction that has become a company staple. On this week's SmackDown, Finn Bálor referred to Shin as "an artist capable of painting a picture...of chaos".

That was clever.

Both men then went on to have a solid match, one that would've been better had it not been broken up by a momentum-killing ad break that necessitated endless rest holds from the heel. Oh well, at least Bálor used some history to build the bout.
