Japan's Tokyo Sports publication has confirmed that Shinsuke Nakamura will be leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling later this month and is headed to WWE.

Nakamura, NJPW's reigning Intercontinental champion, gave his first public comments about why he decided to join WWE. He explained that he is looking for a new challenge and hopes to reach "new heights" with WWE's global platform.

Come on then Rossman, what's the guy like? I assume you know all about him  😄

I don't know a lot but he's basically one of Japan's biggest stars. Styles, Anderson and Gallows are supposed to be on their way too. WWE even posted an article about the rumours.

He's awesome, loads of charisma, great wrestler. Can speak English. Known as "The King of Strong Style" because of his vicious knee's & kicks.

There's been talk that AJ Styles is coming to WWE. Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows who are part of the Bullet Club have been rumoured to come too.

It might be the camera angle, but he looks fooking tall! It would be nice to see a Japanese wrestler actually be successful in WWE these days... seems like all the Japanese ones this century (that I can remember mind you) have all ended up as failures. Hideo Itami has probably been the best looking one wrestling wise... but then he wasn't stuck with the usual WWE booking off "he's Japanese so let's have him coming out in a kimono and speak like an angry foreigner". Some proper booking and they'd be able to open up a bigger market in Japan, so let's hope they can do it right.
