Shinsuke Nakamura sheds light on his ultimate goal in the WWE

Current WWE Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura recently spoke to Tokyo Sports and discussed various topics. The Japanese superstar shed light on his ultimate goal in Vince's promotion during the interview.

Shinsuke Nakamura plies his trade on WWE SmackDown and has won multiple titles in the promotion. Nakamura began with the NXT Championship in 2016 after defeating Samoa Joe. The athlete went on to win the United States Championship by pinning Jeff Hardy in 2018. He is currently the Intercontinental Champion, which he earned by recording a victory over Apollo Crews last year.

In the interview, Nakamura detailed that WWE emphasizes tag team bouts to push young talents. The King of Strong Style also described how he hopes to win the WWE Championship someday.

“Even in NXT, it’s like handsome (Jiro) and KUSHIDA. Is it to increase the chances of appearing on the program together, while raising young talent by forming a combination? Anyway, since I came to WWE, I can achieve the Grand Slam if I get one WWE World Championship, so I would like to aim for that,” - Nakamura said.

Rick Boogs talks about his relationship with Shinsuke Nakamura

In a recent interview with GiveMeSport WWE, SmackDown star Rick Boogs spoke about his relationship with Shinsuke Nakamura.

Nakamura and Boogs work as tag team partners on the blue brand and the latter highly appreciates the former United States Champion as his mentor. Boogs also stated that Nakamura helps him out with advice and values this input because he doesn't have as much experience as his on-screen ally.

"Shinsuke, he's like a father figure to me now. (...) So, anything we have going on, I always like to get his two cents, whether it's TV, whether it's live events, tag matches, singles matches, character stuff (...) I always run it by him, I wanna get his feedback on it because he's extremely seasoned (...) So, it's been very helpful for a newcomer to have such a great mentor," - said Boogs.
