Shinsuke Nakamura landed in New York City last night (Tuesday) and was met by Sho Funaki, which likely means he’ll be working with the former WWE star. Funaki is generally used to work with other Japanese talents when they first arrive in the US.
Nakamura will work with WWE for two weeks, then had back to Japan. He’ll be back in the US in time for WrestleMania weekend where he will face Sami Zayn at WWE NXT Takeover: Dallas.
