A very polarising gimmick appears to have been written off of TV on tonight’s (June 18) edition of SmackDown.
On the show, Shinsuke Nakamura took on King Corbin in a match dubbed “the Battle for the Crown”. The match ended with Nakamura pinning Corbin with a Kinshasa to win the crown.
After the match, Corbin was shown crying while the announcers made sure to mention that he was seemingly no longer a king, appearing to be the end of Corbin’s king gimmick.
All hail the newly crowned KING! 👑@ShinsukeN has dethroned @BaronCorbinWWE and earned the crown on #SmackDown!

There has been speculation that the feud between Corbin and Nakamura would result in the return of the King of the Ring tournament.
