Shinsuke Nakamura has been an unforgettable name in the WWE Universe. His extremely sinister build-up with Cody Rhodes last year used to be the hot pick of the regular wrestling dose of the fans. After wrapping up that feud following two unsuccessful attempts, the legend appeared in the ring on the February 12 episode of Monday Night Raw and scored his last victory on TV against Sami Zayn. After that, he underwent a long losing spree back to back through five matches before going into a seemingly never-ending hiatus.

While it’s still unsure if the Japanese talent will be back on his boots leaving the layers of setbacks behind or not, his acting skill is escalating on the other side of the industry, to say the least!

Shinsuke Nakamura’s old commercial shoot reappeared on the internet

Nakamura (44), despite remaining absent on TV, has been a constant figure in non-televised live events and house shows. He also competed in WWE’s recent three-day Japan tour and brought countless splendid memories to the table. During that time, he was snapped alongside his grappling class students, which included WWE’s Kairi Sane and others. It’s pertinent to note that the superstar has an esteemed skill in the Octagon as well. The King of Strong Style, hence, made a surprise entrance at UFC 303 in Las Vegas and immediately caught the media’s attention.

But his activity isn’t only confined to sports. The WWE star’s old commercial shoot with Nissin Ramen resurfaced on the internet, letting the world know once again what a versatile talent box the 44-year-old is.

So, when will Nakamura return to the ring? Will he even continue on his WWE stint or has already found an alternative path depending on the diverse range of talent he beholds? Let’s refer to an old interview to know it better.

Will Nakamura continue grinding himself in WWE 

New Japan Pro-Wrestling legend Shinsuke Nakamura’s WWE signing brought a lot of hope to the promotion back in 2016. Starting from his astonishing record in the Japanese promotion to pulling the crowd through his extraordinary working style, and effortless charisma, Nakamura claimed through the excellence. That said, on the other side, there is a bit of skepticism.

WWE’s diversification tries have never been without controversy. But surpassing these threats of negativity, the former IGPW champion joined the developmental brand and walked away as a champion just within a few months. But after jumping ship to the main roster, his career remained largely lackluster. Despite having immense potential, he never won a title in 8 years of his time in the division. Although his overall records are decent, when we compare who Nakamura was during his NPJW era, WWE seemed pretty underwhelming.

But the star still didn’t run out of his wrestling aspirations. During a recent interview, the Japanese WWE star noted he wants to continue to wrestle in the company and keep on challenging his bar like he always does.

It will be interesting to see when and how WWE brings back the sinister star in the lore. What’s your take on Shinsuke Nakamura making appearances in the commercial amidst a long WWE hiatus? Let us know in the comments.
