If you look closely at the above picture, you can see that Shinsuke Nakamura seems to have been cut in half as his upper body is nowhere to be seen.

Rusev won clean with a Machka Kick to end what has been a very uninspiring title run for Shinsuke Nakamura. Nakamura is out of contract early next year, and has been linked with a move back to NJPW, so this could be the first step in doing that.

Happy Rusev Day everyone.
