Last week, Apollo Crews battled King Nakamura in singles match, which was won by Nakamura after Commander Azeez attacking Nakamura. With that win King Nakamura got the IC Title opportunity on tonight’s Smackdown.
On tonight’s Friday Night Smackdown, King Nakamura battled Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews for the title in one-on-one match. It was a intense match and at the end Nakamura defeated Crews to win the title. We also saw that Rick Boogs and Commander Azeez sent to back during the match, so the finish was clean as Nakamura hits Kinshasa on Crews and pinned him for victory.
