Shinsuke Nakamura, Best Of The Super Heels 2018
Before WrestleMania, Shinsuke Nakamura was one of the most beloved wrestlers in WWE, unique, dangerous and, most importantly of all, owner of an awesome entrance song.
But Nakamura’s ball-punching fist wasn’t the only thing who’s turned heel since WrestleMania, as now his music has gone bad guy too.
In the rich vein of ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin and Rock ‘The Dwayne’ Johnson, Nakamura debuted his new heel theme ‘Shadows of a Setting Sun’ to suit his new heel persona on last night’s SmackDown, because – as Corey Graves explained – he’s sick of the WWE Universe singing along with it.
And true to Nakamura’s “No speak English” claims, the lyrics are rapped in Japanese. Meaning if I try to sing along, I either get accused of being an idiot, or of cultural appropriation.
Thankfully, ThatsRoode on Instagram has translated the song for us single-language speaking philistines:

Better wear a cup cause I’m gonna jab your nuts
I’ll jab your nuts all the way up into your guts
Time to punch some nuts
Up to your guts
So on and so forth.
Nakamura’s current six-star feud with AJ Styles’ genitals has also prompted NXT wrestler EC3 to suggest another change to Shinsuke’s gimmick:
With the amount of low blows @ShinsukeN is dishing out, he may as well change the name of his finisher to the Peenshasa.#sdlive

Peenshasa is good. But so is the Phenomenal BALLarm! What should Nakamura’s new low blow finisher be called? Click the ‘i’ in the top right of the video to vote.
But Nakamura isn’t the only top heel on SmackDown…
Real Reason Samoa Joe Moved To SmackDown
…as his former NXT Championship foe Samoa Joe is now also on the brand.
Joe was arguably the most surprising move during last week’s Superstar Shake-Up, mainly because his already-announced Backlash match against Roman Reigns was one of Raw’s only actual established feuds since WrestleMania.
But PWStream is reporting Joe’s feud with Reigns is precisely why he was moved to SmackDown:
Per source: Samoa Joe moved to #SDLive to avoid Reigns. The two will have a match soon, however following that, Reigns, as expected, will be running #Raw. As such, Joe wouldn’t be a pivotal part of the show. WWE want him to play a big role — he wouldn’t be on Raw, hence the move.

Major WWE Plans Spoiled?
The idea of Reigns “running Raw” suggests he’ll soon hold the brand’s top title, which PWStream also claims will be happening imminently. As when asked if Joe vs Reigns at Backlash will be for the Universal title, the Twitter account responded:
As of right now (barring Vince wanting to swerve everyone again), yes.

. . . therefore reporting Roman will beat Brock Lesnar at this Friday’s Greatest Royal Rumble show in time for Backlash the following week.
PWStream have previously reported Lesnar’s contract as being a per-appearance deal, and that Charlotte ended Asuka’s build her up for a WrestleMania 35 against Ronda Rousey – both claims which have yet to be confirmed.
