WWE is seemingly more willing to work with other companies under Triple H

WWE Superstars are invading Japan next month, much to the shock of wrestling fans everywhere.

In the last few decades, Vince McMahon had rarely played nice with other wrestling companies when it came to allowing his talents to work at outside events. But it appears that things might be much different under Triple H in 2023.

SmackDown Superstar Shinsuke Nakamura recently arrived in Japan ahead of his match against The Great Muta on January 1 for Pro Wrestling NOAH.

The company took to social media to tweet out a video of the arrival of Shinsuke Nakamura:

"WWE Superstar triumphant return *double exclamation point emoji* SHINSUKE NAKAMURA is in Japan *five double exclamation point emojis* In order to have a DREAM MATCH with Great Muta at the Nippon Budokan on 1 January! BACK TO JAPAN!" Pro Wrestling NOAH said in a tweet.

Pro Wrestling NOAH also announced that The King of Strong Style would take part in a press conference with Muta on December 30.

"SHINSUKE NAKAMURA enjoying the atmosphere of Japan while being surrounded by reporters. On Friday 30 December, he will attend a press conference before the Nippon Budokan with Great Muta's agent, Keiji Muto!" Pro Wrestling NOAH said in a tweet.
