Shinsuke Nakamura winning the United States Championship at Summerslam.

Shinsuke Nakamura was born in Kyoto, Japan and signed with NXT in 2016. He came into WWE as one the most dominant wrestlers in NJPW, with a phenomenal career spanning 13 years in the Japanese federation.

Pro Wrestling Illustrated had named him at number 5 in their PWI 500 best wrestlers of 2015, while the Wrestling Observer Newsletter named him the best wrestler of 2014.

Nakamura is one of the two wrestlers to have won the NXT Championship on two occasions, Samoa Joe is the other.

He achieved great plaudits from the crowd and backstage officials as he continued his superb work in NXT right from where he left off in NJPW.

His main roster run has been pretty underwhelming yet has managed to claim the United States Championship. He will, however, go down as the only Japanese wrestler to win the Royal Rumble.
