After NXT TakeOver: Orlando went off the air, Shinsuke Nakamura stayed in the ring for a while as the crowd chanted “Nakamura” and “Thank you, Shinsuke.” Shinsuke then waved to the crowd as if to say “thank you for everything.”
With his second straight TakeOver loss to Bobby Roode, it seems like there’s nothing else left to do for Nakamura in NXT and his main roster debut is definitely coming soon, with some speculating that it could come as early as this Tuesday on SmackDown (or obviously Monday if WWE decides to put him on Raw).
Shinsuke then tweeted:
Finished #NXTTakeOverOrlando Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
