Update on Shinsuke Nakamura’s NXT Status
As noted, WWE announced Shinsuke Nakamura will not need surgery following the knee “injury” he sustained at the hands of Bobby Roode during their NXT Takeover San Antonio match. WWE did note, however, that there is no timetable for Nakamura’s NXT return. It should be noted that the injury is story line related, and because Nakamura did not appear at the last set of NXT TV tapings, he will likely appear at the February 22nd tapings from the University of Central Florida campus.
