WWE.com has officially announced the signing of Japanese Wrestling legend Shinsuke Nakamura. An article at WWE.com states that he’s signed with “WWE NXT,” so it looks like his match at TakeOver is not a one-time thing. That’s not surprising, since he was expected to acclimate himself in NXT for a while, but since WWE likely had to sign him to a lucrative deal to get him to jump from NJPW, it was expected that he was earmarked for the main roster. Maybe he still is, but they’re pushing him as an NXT signing for now.
Paul “Triple H” Levesque told WWE.com that “Talent is the lifeblood of our company, and the signing of Shinsuke Nakamura further demonstrates NXT’s commitment to bringing in the best talent from all over the world. His explosive style will make an immediate impact to an already dynamic NXT men’s division.” I’m sure we’ll hear more from WWE about him in the coming weeks.
Welcome to the @WWE & @WWENXT family @ShinsukeN! Can’t wait to see you debut in Dallas. #NXTTakeOver pic.twitter.com/QM4QymoXDP
