The world of pro wrestling is overlooking yet another retirement on the horizon. Although this retirement is nothing new, the responses it can generate from co-workers, associates, and close acquaintances are always unique. This time around, Shinsuke Nakamura made sure to show his face at a Japanese pro wrestling company in order to wish a wrestling talent a ‘happy retirement’. This is also not the first time that he has shown himself in front of the Japanese audience on Triple H‘s watch.

Triple H’s talent extends a hearty message to a fellow wrestler

Saki Akai is a Japanese idol as well as a pro wrestler. So far, she has signed with ‘DDT Pro-Wrestling’. And now, the female wrestler has decided that she wants to end her stint in the world of pro wrestling. So, the Japanese WWE superstar went out of his way to wish her on this occasion.

Even though WWE doesn’t have a history of allowing such crossovers, Triple H still didn’t stop Nakamura from extending his support. Though retirement may be sad for some, Nakamura wanted to give her a hearty message.

Shinsuke Nakamura started his WWE journey by enrolling in NXT first. Before his 2016 debut in the Stamford-based company, Nakamura had already become quite the sensation in Japan. But even after he signed with WWE, he did not cut ties with his old acquaintances in his home country.

Despite being an exclusive employee of WWE, the Kyoto-born appeared in a wrestling match in a Japanese promotion earlier this year. So, if you think a video promo to wish Akai was wholesome, you might want to brace yourself for the information that is about to come.

Over the course of years, ‘Super Rookie’ has made several enemies. The Great Muta is one such example. The two wrestlers have gone toe-to-toe in more than one match. However, it was in 2008 when they wrestled against each other for the last time. After that, they parted ways until Muta’s decision and Nakamura’s sportsmanship brought them together.
