Shinsuke Nakamura Wins US Championship At WWE Survivor Series

Shinsuke Nakamura’s victory over LA Knight at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 to capture the United States Championship marks a significant return after a lengthy absence. Nakamura’s break from WWE programming, which lasted from April 22nd until November 15th, had many fans wondering about his future with the company. While he did continue to perform at live events, his absence from major storylines and television broadcasts raised questions about his status and creative direction.

Nakamura’s return to television in mid-November was highly anticipated, especially after being drafted to Friday Night SmackDown during the 2024 WWE Draft. His return to a major championship picture, particularly after such a long period of being kept off TV, shows that WWE is looking to re-establish him as a key player on the roster.
