WWE SmackDown: 10 Things You Might Have Missed

1. Nakamura's Concern For John Cena

One thing making it seem like John Cena coming down hard on the back of his neck wasn't intentional was Nakamura's reaction post-pinfall. After picking up the win, the Japanese star quickly looked over at Cena holding his head and readjusted his positioning so that he could be close enough to ask about his co-worker's health.

This was made more obvious by Shinsuke then glancing back and forth between Cena and the referee, even going as far as to ask the official whether or not his peer was really hurt. That was thoughtful and also sold the gnarly impact of the aforementioned bump. Nakamura wasn't taking any chances here.

Grimacing after a hard-fought match and basking in his win, Shinsuke still wanted to ensure that Cena was alright. It wasn't until the ref told Nakamura things were ok that the new #1 contender for the WWE Title really started to celebrate.
