Never before has a Japanese-born superstar entered into WWE's way of professional wrestling with such class, charisma and stellar skills. Shinsuke Nakamura jolted the wrestling world when news broke of his WWE signing.
While being more than qualified, many just never imagined Nakamura leaving the comfort of his abode that was NJPW, where he accomplished everything he possibly could. However, being the true competitor that he is, Shinsuke felt the urge to challenge himself to even higher levels than ever before.

As the current NXT champion, Nakamura is definitely the biggest attraction in NXT. But, as big as NXT has grown, the WWE main roster is the pinnacle that Nakamura has to set his sights on now. The talent is there, now it's more or less a matter of logistics to see when he gets the call to the next level, which will happen in the very near future.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
