Now, speaking of Shinsuke Nakamura and the IWGP Intercontinental Championship, 'The King of Strong Style' has won the IWGP IC Title on a total of 5 different occasions and throughout his 5 reigns as IC Champion, Nakamura has defended the title on 17 occasions and has held the title for a total of 901 days.

Nakamura last held the IWGP Intercontinental Championship in 2016 before vacating the title due to him signing with WWE. On the other hand, 'The Artist', who is rather the current WWE Intercontinental Champion, won the WWE United States Championship in 2018, marking his first title win on the main roster, as well.

'The Artist' eventually went on to become a two-time WWE United States Champion but if there's anything Nakamura is well-known for then it's his reigns as IWGP IC Champion, a title belt that he made prestigious over in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
