Shinsuke Nakamura Defeats LA Knight to Win United States Title at Survivor Series

Nakamura's surprise victory marks his third reign as U.S. Champion, ending Knight's brief title run since SummerSlam.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated LA Knight at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames to become a three-time United States Champion.
Nakamura's victory came after a dominant sequence, including a DDT onto steel and his signature Kinshasa finisher.
The rivalry began with Nakamura's unexpected return to WWE programming in mid-November, where he attacked Knight after a title defense.
LA Knight's reign as U.S. Champion lasted just a few months, following his SummerSlam victory over Logan Paul in August.
The outcome raises questions about WWE's creative direction for both Nakamura, who has struggled for consistent booking, and Knight, whose popularity remains strong despite limited storylines.
