Shinsuke Nakamura previously wrestled in Japan with New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). However, it was AJ Styles versus Shinsuke Nakamura at Wrestlekingdom 10 that garnered attention. Therefore, with AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura signed with WWE the future looks bright.

After his successful run in NJPW, Nakamura would leave Japan and debut at NXT Takeover Dallas in 2016. At NXT Takeover: Brooklyn II Nakamura defeated Samoa Joe for the NXT Championship and remained undefeated till NXT Takeover: San Antonio, where he lost the championship to Bobby Roode.

On April 12th, 2017, Shinsuke Nakamura bid farewell to NXT to wrestle on on SmackDown Live. Shinsuke Nakamura has been successful on SmackDown Live but has yet to win a championship. However, one notable match against John Cena built Nakamura as a future WWE star.

Recently, Shinsuke Nakamura would participate in the Royal Rumble and became the first Japanese wrestler to win it. Furthermore, following the event, Shinsuke would challenge AJ Styles at WrestleMania 34. So, with obvious in-ring chemistry, their match is set to be a classic once again.

Shinsuke Nakamura has been NXT Champion two times, however, expect him to become the first ever Japanese WWE Champion.
