Shinsuke Nakamura visited the WWE Performance Center last week, and also did his WWE medicals in Pittsburgh, PA. At this time there is no report on if he passed those tests or not, but many have wondered what would happen if he failed the testing.
In the past, talents like Willie Mack and Nigel McGuinness were said to be signed by WWE, but were then not signed when they failed their medicals. The speculation at this time is that if Nakamura failed his medicals that WWE would still have him work the NXT Takeover: Dallas event as an outside talent.
Nakamura has not moved to the United States yet, but is planning to do so once all his testing is completed and his deal is official.
