00:00Whatever happened to Shinsuke Nakamura?
00:02Nakamura has not been seen in the WWE since he lost to Sheamus on Raw, back in April.
00:09The 44-year-old Nakamura is a two-time NXT Champion, a two-time United States Champion,
00:16a two-time Intercontinental Champion, and a 2018 Royal Rumble winner.
00:20Although Nakamura has not been seen on WWE television since April, he has competed in over 40 non-televised matches this year,
00:29with a recent match at a WWE Live event in Cardiff, in which he lost to LA Knight for
00:34the United States Championship. Nakamura was drafted to SmackDown in the WWE 2024 draft in
00:42April, but who would even remember that at this point? Nakamura re-signed with the WWE in 2019,
00:49and it is likely that his contract will be expiring soon. He is set to return to Pro Wrestling
00:55NOAH in January, and it is unclear if he will still be under contract with the WWE at that point.
01:02However, what is clear, is that based on Nakamura being a forgotten man in the WWE,
01:08he is unlikely to re-sign with the company. AEW could be a potential landing spot for him,
01:15since they have a number of international stars there. But it does seem that after 8 years with
01:20the WWE, the King of Strong Style will most likely be future endeavored by the company soon.
