Shinsuke Nakamura Hints at New Tag Team Partner's Identity

Shinsuke Nakamura recently hinted at the identity of his new tag team partner during a vignette shared on social media after SmackDown. He called out the MFTs following their WWE Tag Team title victory earlier that evening.

Nakamura described his partner as experienced, vicious, and chaotic, referring to him as a ticking time bomb. This description, along with brief visuals of Hiromu Takahashi, strongly suggests that Takahashi is the partner in question. Takahashi departed NJPW in February, and reports indicated he and another wrestler, formerly known as EVIL, would be joining WWE.

In addition to Nakamura's segment, WWE released various exclusive clips after the show, including one where Nick Aldis announced Giulia as Blake Monroe's first opponent, although the match date remains unconfirmed. Other segments featured Ricky Starks expressing his desire for a shot at Rey Fenix’s AAA Cruiserweight title and confrontations involving The Miz and Kit Wilson with Matt Cardona.
