Might have been part of the character, might have been part of the show but to me this was validation, recognition and doors wide open to get to the top of WWE. You might say that it was gimmicky but I saw realness in his eyes. As soon as the count was done, Randy looked at Shinsuke and said something to him to which Shinsuke replied thank you. At that moment everything was still normal and finally Randy said something again to Shinsuke and that was the moment when Shinsuke's face change to this. You may ask why? Shinsuke got into Smackdown straight into the hands of Dolph Ziggler, to have matches all over the US and toured all over the globe against each other having AMAZING matches! Trust me, I was there in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 to see them fight! The matches against KO and MITB were GREAT and finally vs Baron Corbin and vs Jinder Mahal we learned that Shinsuke can take all comers. But the real tests came later with 4 weeks in between. First, John Cena having a GREAT and over the top match and finally last night Shinsuke had a match against Randy Orton and won it. The differences between KO or AJ Styles over John is that they won only against him but you have to know that WWE pillars over the past 15 years have been John and Randy, if Edge and Dave were still around they will be the remaining two pillars. We cant count Brock nor Shelton because both were away for so long and Brock is there but not really. Shinsuke came in to WWE from the top of the world and started from the bottom like a rookie getting into WWE for the first time, build the rings went to training and did things stars like him and John or Dwayne hardly ever do anymore. Shinsuke earned his spot in the main roster and everything that will come his way while being healthy.
