WWE Rumor Roundup: Former champion released, major push for returning superstar, Lesnar's return match, Nakamura's current status (20th May 2021)

#2 Shinsuke Nakamura on his status in WWE

Former WWE US Champion Shinsuke Nakamura was a guest on Renee Paquette's Oral Sessions recently. The former Royal Rumble winner talked about his current position in the company and his equation with Vince McMahon.

Nakamura revealed that he does not pitch any ideas to McMahon and has only limited conversations with him. He revealed that the Chairman always gives him advice related to promos. Shinsuke Nakamura said that he is waiting for the perfect time and moment.

"I'm still struggling in wrestling," said Nakamura "Coming to US and coming to WWE is challenging. I came to challenge myself. That's why I'm here. I'm waiting to find my timing and my moment. I don't pitch ideas to [Vince] a lot. We talk after the match a little or before the match if he has an idea for my promo. I need to get used to [not talking to Vince]," said Shinsuke Nakamura.

Nakamura is currently involved in a feud with King Corbin on SmackDown. Though many feel that Nakamura deserves to be part of the main-event picture on the Blue brand, it looks as though WWE has chosen to keep him in the mid-card.
