WWE Star Shinsuke Nakamura breaks his silence following shock dream match announcement 

WWE Superstar Shinsuke Nakamura has commented on his upcoming match against The Great Muta.

Yesterday, WWE's forbidden door was surprisingly opened as it was announced that Shinsuke Nakamura will be going one-on-one with Japanese wrestling Icon, The Great Muta. The match will take place on January 1st, 2023 for Pro-Wrestling NOAH in what will be one of the many farewell matches for Muta.

During a recent interview with Tokyo Sports, the former NXT Champion spoke of how much of a miracle opportunity it is to face off against a legend like Muta.

“There were people in WWE who pushed me forward. It’s nothing short of a miracle. Of course, I wanted to do it. It was an area that no one had ever stepped into, or rather, I opened a door that no one had been able to pry open. Ha ha ha… It’s a real ‘Forbidden Door.’" [H/T Tokyo Sports]

WWE's decision to allow one of their own superstars to work with another promotion whilst still under contract with them signifies a major turning point for the company going forward.
