Backstage Update on *spoilers* Following WWE NXT Return *Spoilers from NXT last night*

[Dale]

Shinsuke Nakamura returned to WWE NXT on last night’s Halloween Havoc go-home show, and word now is that he is not finished with the brand.

Nakamura was the mystery opponent for Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo, chosen by the injured Tony D’Angelo. Stacks put up a fight, but Nakamura ended up getting the win to a huge ovation from the NXT crowd.

In an update, word now via PWInsider is that Nakamura is booked to make additional upcoming NXT appearances.

There’s no word yet on when Nakamura will be back on NXT TV, but shortly before he came out on last night’s show, it was reported that there had been talk of Nakamura working NXT as a part of WWE’s ongoing brand crossover efforts.

D’Angelo took to Twitter last night and thanked Nakamura for teaching Stacks a lesson.

“Pleasure doin business with you. Thanks for teaching stacks a lesson! #forthefamily,” he wrote with the backstage photo seen below.

Nakamura, a two-time NXT Champion, recently made a trip to Japan, but has been back on the road with the company. Before Tuesday night, Nakamura’s last TV appearance was a win over Baron Corbin on the September 2 SmackDown, but he has worked dark matches and live event matches since them. Nakamura defeated Angel in a dark match at the October 7 SmackDown. There’s no word on why he has been away from the main roster spotlight as of late.​

I was wondering why he hadn’t been on TV in forever. Good for him; welcome back

 

[Sabretooth]

Sucks he’s leaving the main roster but he’ll be a huge addition to NXT for sure

 

[Buffy]

Good to have him back on NXT.

Tony D had to import some muscle

 

[Cwalker]

Nakamura being a gun for hire could be entertaining

 

[Deezy]

Nak vs Bron Breakker

 

[Sabretooth]

Now just tell him to stop dressing like a stripper

 

[Y2Jayne]

Eh. The guy has been in the company for years, and he still hasn't improved his English. I have very little interest in a guy who just comes out, does weird faces, shakes like an epileptic and doesn't say anything.

 

[Deezy]

Speaks better English than any of us do Japanese

 

[Sabretooth]

He literally speaks English lmao

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Its 2022 and weirdos still not enjoying ppl because they arent native english speakers. Just sad

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Speaks better English than any of us do Japanese
