The King of Strong Style responded with his trademark striking game, connecting with sharp kicks and a precise enzuigiri that momentarily staggered the Celtic Warrior.

But Sheamus, ever the brawler, countered with a scoop slam and a seated senton that brought the Boston crowd to life. Nakamura managed to halt the Beats of the Bodhrán with a series of Kawada-style kicks, finishing with an axe kick before hitting a diving Kinshasa from the second rope that sent Sheamus crashing to the floor.
