WWE Looking To Sign Nakamura?

[Prince Bálor]

WWE is apparently interested in signing IWGP Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura when his contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling is up in January.

While at 35 years old, his age isn't helping him, WWE recently signed Samoa Joe and James Storm, who are both older than Nakamura. Nakamura is also 6'2" with great charisma, and speaks English. A source close to Nakamura noted that it is one of Nakamura's dreams to do something "big" over in the U.S.

Nakamura is currently slated to defend the IWGP Intercontinental Championship against AJ Styles at Wrestle Kingdom 10 on January 4, 2016, however that match is in limbo with Styles' recent back issues.

I don't see him leaving and I don't want him to leave, honestly.

I mean, sure, I'd have nothing against seeing him in NXT, but I cannot say the same as far as the main roster goes. He just wouldn't be treated well there.

Plus, I think Kidani has previously said that the WWE may have to offer seven figure or near seven figure deals to NJPW's top guys, in order to keep them from thinking about a jump to WWE.

I wouldn't mind him in WWE. As long as he keeps his gimmick. Or at least something like it.

But it's best for him to stay in NJPW if he wants a safe and quality time as a wrestler.

But, if he wants a chance at "something big in the U.S.".....

ROH won't give it to him. GFW won't. TNA.......lol

Seems like there's only one real option.

Finally, a good wrestler from the puro scene.
