Shinsuke Nakamura and Kyoki Win SmackDown Debut as Bakusai

Shinsuke Nakamura and Kyoki made their debut as the tag team Bakusai on WWE SmackDown on September 4, achieving a significant victory in their first match.

The duo faced The Miz and Kit Wilson in Cleveland, where Nakamura initially endured isolation before Kyoki entered the match and shifted the momentum. They executed a series of effective moves, culminating in Kyoki pinning Wilson after reversing an attempted Stunner.

Following their win, the MFTs, the current WWE Tag Team Champions, confronted Bakusai, signaling a potential title feud. Kyoki, who has a rich wrestling background including a successful career in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, adds depth to the new team, which is now positioned for future challenges.
