"Hell no!"- Shinsuke Nakamura responds to WWE fans' wrong assumptions regarding him

Shinsuke Nakamura is one of the best in-ring performers in WWE right now. Ever since his departure from Japan and arrival in the United States, fans have been clamoring for a world title win for Shinsuke Nakamura.

Lately, some WWE fans have been falling back on the fact that Shinsuke surfs a lot as a reason for why he hasn't gotten a proper push in WWE. Many fans wrongfully believe that Shinsuke prioritizes surfing over wrestling.

Thus, on the latest edition of WWE's The Bump, Shinsuke Nakamura finally addressed these claims made by fans and had a strong response for them:

"Surfing is not only my hobby, [it is] my training, my meditation and my life work. But sometimes people think "Oh Shinsuke loves surfing more than wrestling". Hell no!" Shinsuke added, "My first priority is always wrestling. That's why I chose surfing as a hobby for everything; meditation, relaxing and releasing muscle [tension] and training."

In the same interview on The Bump, Nakamura shared his thoughts on being a king in WWE:
