Shinsuke Nakamura returned to WWE TV on last week&#8217;s SmackDown and said he&#8217;s bringing a new partner to take on The MFTs.
In a social media exclusive from tonight&#8217;s SmackDown, Nakamura said he and his new partner are coming for Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga&#8217;s WWE Tag Team Titles.
Nakamura revealed that his new partner is &#8220;chaos&#8221; and a &#8220;ticking time bomb&#8221;.

It looks like Nakamura&#8217;s partner is going to be former NJPW wrestler Hiromu Takahashi, as &#8220;Ticking Time Bomb&#8221; is his nickname. Multiple reports came out a few months back about WWE signing Takahashi.

On August 8, Paige tweeted the following to Nikki Bella:
&#8220;I saved your a$$ from getting pinned twice at summerslam.. I’m also the one who WON those championships. I’ll be back next week. You haven’t seen anything yet babe.&#8221;
However, Paige didn&#8217;t appear on tonight&#8217;s SmackDown. After the show ended, Paige tweeted the following:
&#8220;lol&#8221;
This led to Nikki Bella tweeting the following:
&#8220;What was that @Saraya??? I think I missed what you said. &#x1f481;&#x1f3fb;&#x200d;&#x2640;&#xfe0f;&#x1f485;&#x1f3fc;&#8221;
Paige replied:
&#8220;You’d think you’d want women to have segments instead of being cut. You’ve always been full of sh*t. It’s alright I’ll just see ya in person next week bb &#x2764;&#xfe0f;&#8221;
